Lyrics
Yer really into havin’ a beer
Yer into watchin’ the game
Yer really into livin’ in fear
Embracin’ puritan shame
You got bills to pay
Yer workin’ for a raise
There’s nothin’ we can do to change
It’s the American way
CHORUS
But I won’t wear rose colored glasses to make it easier
I’ve got the song for a better nation written on my heart
If I never stand for another
Have I ever really stood at all
Really stood at all
You don’t like to be political
Because you believe
The privilege that you’ve grown accustomed to was justly conceived
You got bills to pay
And you got kids to raise
There’s nothin’ we can do to change
It’s the American way
CHORUS
Baby steps and beer will never raise minimum wage
So use those goddamn bootstraps for radical change
‘Cause we got debts to pay
History to make
Somethin’ we should do to change
The American way
CHORUS x2
