All American Lyrics

There's a strip mall round the corner,
Lease signs in every window
And fear in almost all my neighbors' eyes
There's a disconnect between the
politicians and the people
We know half the time their gonna lie
Aren't we all on the same side
There's no us and there's no them
were all out there on a limb
There's no Kings and there's no
Queens just a pot of melted dreams
What makes us so quick to fight no one
wants to compromise
Sometimes its all so hard to understand
Aren't we all Americans
We can't agree on nothing even as our
country's hanging in the balance by a thread
There's bonuses for bosses and bankers
hiding losses while our leaders
close their eyes and turn their heads,
aren't we all on the same side
What if my sons class was closing down,
by brothers house the bank sold out,
My father's farm we could not save
My mother lost her job today
My wife just said tuitions more another year
we can't afford so my Daughters dropping
out of school if this was me what would I do
There's no us and there's no them
were all out there on a limb
There's no Kings and there's no Queens
just a pot of melted dreams
What makes us so quick to fight no one
wants to compromise for some time its
all so hard to understand
Get back to being neighbors and friends,
Aren't we all Americans
