Blacklist Royals - American Hearts |
|
There's an American heart |
|
Reckless and wild |
|
Beats like a cold black hurricane |
|
Through you and me |
|
And there's a promise of hope |
|
That says don't you be scared son |
|
A life here is a good one |
|
Boy you're born to be free |
|
Can you feel it slipping away |
|
Just an American boy |
|
Marching in time |
|
Nineteen years old |
|
When they put him up on that line |
|
Get's him a ticket home |
|
And a hero's salute |
|
In a casket with stars and stripes that shine |
|
Blinding American hearts like mine |
|
And I feel it slipping away |
|
I feel it slipping away |
|
I see a government man |
|
Under red white and blue |
|
Smile as he explains the cost of |
|
War to me and you |
|
But there's no mention of no |
|
Names, no pictures on my TV screen |
|
It's just the same old story |
|
The same old fucking story again |
