Here comes the shape, the speech that can't wait.
I see you're weight, shape, bib on his overalls.
What do you know about this world, anyway?
I see a man with a left-field plan,
"I call a vote for to light up the sky."
What do you know about this world, anyway?
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri American
and caught into flame.
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri American
massacre the day.
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri American
and caught into flame.
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri American
massacre the day.
Here comes the flag!
I'm walking under the black.
Every time you touch this place it feels like sin.
Every time the handshake starts the face draws in.
What do you know about this world, anyway?
Here comes the sun, an American son.
In here the sun shines so bright, eyes blind.
What do you know about this world, anyway?
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri American
and caught into flame.
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri American
massacre the day.
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri American
and caught into flame.
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri American
massacre the day.
Here comes the flag!
I'm walking under the black.
Here comes the flag!
Handshake...this world
Here comes the flag!
Handshake...this world

How do you get even with your sacred senses
Ebery time, your Brother don't mind
I don't know we've been running through your friendship
Try to, deep in time
Your Brother don't know
First to touch, when you lose
Finally time again
Talk, talk, talk will spill the cup
Then break you down and then
Put your thoughts to action
And the consequence is mine
You don't know
You don't know
You're making time
So who's to blame, don't ever doubt it
Your Brother don't know
I said who's to blame
Don't ever doubt it
Your Brother don't know
Last time you tried to ride it
Check yourself and realise
Your ability, your ability, your ability
And the more you try to push that limit
How you justify you might not get it
So you're backing out, a sign of your disability
Eh! I don't mind and they don't care
But your Brother does
I said I don't mind and they don't care
But your Brother does
Who to believe, Who to believe in
Who to believe, Who to believe in
Acts of faith set you apart
And it's alright 'cos your Brother don't know
Escape gets you going
So you finally try again
But the down and out they call the police
So they push you back again
And then you get to get it screaming
And the lessons you seem to never learn
It's all about being human
I believe it is your turn
Say my Brother is my Brother (Brother)
My Brother is my soul
I said my Brother is my Brother (Brother)
Yes Brother is my soul

You're a child with endless questions
Tumbling hard and fast from your soul
Searching for the love behind my eyes
You remind me of the One who made you
Splashing in your love for living
Taken with the truth like a bird
takes to the sky.
(Chorus)
The more I know you
The more I want you to know
Your not just a notch in my belt
Hunted by religious ego
A conquest for the narrow minded blind
Your smile is the pulse of my heartbeat
I care what you do with your soul
There's no one like you
You're a rare and precious find

Here comes the shake
The speed-decade wake
I see you wake
Shake
Fit on those overalls
What do you know about this world anyway
I see a man
With an airfield plan
I caught a boy fall out of the sky
What do you know about this world anyway
Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Amer-American
Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Amer-American
Every time you tough this place
It feels like sin
Every time the handshake starts
The face draws thin
What do you know about this world anyway
Here comes the son
An american son
In here the son shines so bright
Eyes blind

will always love you
Uncertainty I love you
Spacious skies I love you
I'll find new ways to love you
All these miles of ghostly west
The Hopis lost to Spain
Now belong to me
I'm the American
I could be a cowboy
Or just a hired hand
Twisters come in April
And rearrange the land
Pick me up and throw me west
A thousand miles from home
Dreaming up my fix
I'm the American
Abilene, old New Mexico
High and dry
Flagstaff Arizone
Cool water
Sipping silver stream
This is my
American dream
I know a squaw in Winslow
Who swears by candlelight
She said she'd leave the back door
Open tonight
Three weeks pay will keep me off
The wrong side of the law
Dreaming up my fix
Getting somewhere quick
I'm the American

You're a child with endless questions
Tumbling hard and fast from your soul
Searching for the love behind my eyes
You remind me of the One who made you
Splashing in your love for living
Taken with the truth like a bird
takes to the sky
(CHORUS)
The more I know you
The more I want you to know
(repeat...)
You're not just a notch in my belt
Hunted by religious ego
A conquest for the narrow-minded blind
Your smile is the pulse of my heartbeat
I care what you do with your soul
There's no one like you
You're a rare and precious find
(REPEAT CHORUS)

Sonny took a train, Mary took a boat
Somewhere it's gonna be better
Everybody needs a little hope
Ten thousand souls waiting on a bus and it never rolled
So it goes
No one's leaving California, Pacific transit overload
Gold dust dreamers never warn ya
And my guitar strums
I am the American
I got a walking stick and an old sock hat
I've got dirty hands and I've got a dream to match
I've got a pocket full
Of government issue cures for poverty
No one's leaving California, Pacific transit overload
All my friends live on the corner
And my guitar strums
I am the American
Under the streetlight, down by the water
Don't worry baby, it's nothing you ever knew
If it makes you feel better, throw down a quarter
Don't worry baby, it won't stick to your shoe
No one's leaving California, Pacific transit overload
Gold dust dreamers never warn ya
And my guitar strums, yeah, my guitar strums
