When it comes crashing down and it hurts inside 
you gotta take a stand it don't help to hide
if you hurt my friends then you hurt my pride
i gotta be a man
i cant let it slide

Chorus
I am a real American 
fight for the rights of every man
I am a real American
fight for what's right
fight for your life

I feel strong about right and wrong
and i don't take trouble for very long 
Ive got something deep inside of me 
courage is the thing that keeps us free


If you hurt my friends then you hurt my pride 
I gotta be a man i cant let it slide
