About the song
This song was written shortly after the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole and has become even more meaningful after the events of 9-11-2001
Lyrics
All the trees, and their leaves
Are washed away by mans' insecurities
And the seas, and autumn's breeze
I will never smell my childhood memories
'Cuz other countries
They hate our liberties
They learn to hate me
'Cuz I'm American
Not my war, not a whore
We have never scorched mother earth before
Goverments and pride they exterminate
And I know why
'Cuz other countries
They hate our liberties
They learn to hate me
'Cuz I'm American
Burn 'em all down to waste
Burn 'em all down to waste before
Are washed away by mans' insecurities
And the seas, and autumn's breeze
I will never smell my childhood memories
'Cuz other countries
They hate our liberties
They learn to hate me
'Cuz I'm American
Not my war, not a whore
We have never scorched mother earth before
Goverments and pride they exterminate
And I know why
'Cuz other countries
They hate our liberties
They learn to hate me
'Cuz I'm American
Burn 'em all down to waste
Burn 'em all down to waste before
