AMERICAN TEARS
Everest

Intro:
My Country,
'Tis of thee
Sweet land of Liberty
For thee I sing
Land where innocent have died
The land where families have cried
For thee I sing:

Verse 1:
National Anthem
Throw another tantrum
And grab a gun
Hide the bullets in the yard
Next to your Tonka-Toy Cars
You're never too young
Kill for some shoes
And make the news
It was just for fun

Chorus:
But it's these American Tears
That must be shed every year
How long will it take
For changes to be placed
How long will it take
For them to stop closing their eyes

Verse 2:
You planned it for years
Thought you could kill your fears
Public Enemy #1
They called you names
You lost their games
Now they'd better run
They'll protest your funeral
So you can die a hero
Now go and get it done

Chorus:
But it's these American Tears
That must be shed every tear
How long will it take
For changes to be placed
How long will it take
For them to wake-up and realize

Verse 3:
Pull up in your Honda
They'd better call a Doctor
Death by the ton
Step into the parking-lot
Fire off a few shots
Until you hit a home-run
Listen to their screams
This was your dream
Because sanity has been shunned

Chorus:
But it's these American Tears
That must be shed every year
How long will it take
For changes to be placed
How long will it take
For them to cross that thin line

Bridge:
Open your eyes
Realize
And cross the line,
Open your eyes
Realize
And cross the line,
It's time.

Verse 3:
Put the gun to your head
Pull the trigger now your dead
That just means you've won
They'll find your body
Beaten up and bloody
And take you home
Your family will identify your corpse
And wallow in remorse
And borrow your gun

Wow. That song certainly threw my mind on a depressing rollercoaster. If you didn't catch it, on the last line one of his family members committed suicide after seeing his body.. soo.... Merry Christmas!
