American Way

(album: VI - 1987)

I'm living in the USA and I don't care
For the buy it, package it, sell it
Make it shine make it shine

You'll get a bigger piece of the market share
If you wave the American flag
It's the spirit of the dollar not the USA
It's a sign of the times

Don't you get me wrong, its a
Wonderful place to live
We got freedom we got rights
Friday night fights

I'm living in the USA and I won't swear
On that bible pushing selling
Good old boy good old boy

Try to tell us all
What's good for our children
Put prayer back in the school
Make it right make it right

He can take the food
Right out of your mouth
Its OK your buying salvation
Fly that lear jet across the nation

I'm living in the USA and I don't care
Buy it, sell it, commercialize it
On my prime time

Celebrate the reconstruction
Of the statue of liberty
Sell your beer, soft drinks and cars
That's the American way

They can justify anything they do
It's alright, as long as their waving
The red white and blue
