Lyrics
It's late at night, the traffic's light, and I'm wonderin'... Why people don't care about their world anymore... The guns are blastin, there's children cryin', there's hate and hunger, corrupt people in power Yet the radio's givin the "ALL CLEAR!" But ya know, there's gotta be a solution To the problems we all face everyday There's gotta be - there's gotta be a solution... That's just the "American way"... The kids today, they don't care about tomorrow They live in the now don't care about the past. Well somewhere someone got the lines crossed. Cos there's too many people out there who are lost. White picket fences, a dog in the yard, and nice big house The american dream wrapped neatly in a box Tears fallen, people torn, black smoke in the sky A shallow grave...too poor for a box. The flags are flyin, tattered and worn, dead bodies layin'...on the ground and there's no one around...no support to be found All for one, and one for all, you called me "brother" I'll write home to your mother... About how ya saved me in the line of fire you gave your life, so that others could live You came up...came up with a solution... that's just the "American way".
