Old men die and
Women cry their name
Children trying
Desperate to stay sane
How could we let all of this take place?
It's the American way
How much longer for the humans?
Red lights flashing in the rear view mirror
Cause they're carting the ill and mongering your fear
Got a half dead puppet for a bigot and a clown
While the other wolf is waiting in her old sheep's gown
Meanwhile everybody's breaking their back
Throwing every last dime to a rich scumbag
Dreaming of the day where the tide rolls in
And drowns those callous, heartless humans
How could we let all of this take place?
It's the American Way
How much longer for the human race?
Children crying
Desperate from a cage
Black men die of privileged white male rage
And how could we let all of this take place?
You say it's the American way (It's the American way)
How much longer for the human race?
