American Boy American Girl

Workers Song Another dead end job In a dead end life Its a dead end day To a dark night And you work 'til you bleed And I'll bleed till you go And I'll bleed all day to sing a song Can I catch your ear Did I catch your soul Do you have a reason? Do you have a home? Do you know your rights? Do you know what you see? Do you know your life? Do you know what to be? Do you know my name? Cuz this minimum wage Ain't enough to fill this page. But I ain't working for you I'm working for me I'm working for the people That depend on me And I'm doing it for food For whatever I can Your breaking the rules You ain't breaking the man For the tears that I've cried For my wasted life And I'm tired and wasted tonight American Boy American Girl American ploy For an American world American life American death Its red and its white With baited breath Cuz the factories are gone And the malls will go too But uncle Sam still wants you For the red white and blues And the star studded strife For the wars we wage In the middle of the night And the people who die In the name of a lie While the rich get richer And we're left behind

Black Man (free) 03:52
Black man Hey black man, black man I saw 'em read you your rights today And black man black man I saw 'em cuff you and take you away Look at the rock and roll The white man stole He wants you soul To call his own He's taking slaves To work all day Except today The slaves get paid. (sometimes) Hey woman woman how's your right to vote? And woman woman its such a slippery slope Going down on hope And freedom comes Like your man On the run See the back door slam And you watch him go Cuz he always cums And he always goes Gay man Gay man they all say that you started AIDS And gay man gay man please please please be afraid When the christians come And then they say “Your gonna burn in hell unless you pray” For how you live For who you are And their words tear and scar Hey tranny tranny how's it feel at the bottom of the list? And tranny tranny how's it feel to suffer a violent death? A certain percent at the rivers edge Cut up, fucked, and bled For how you dress For who you are Foolish words Tare and scar To anyone anyone I left out of this song Well go write your own I don't like my songs too long And sing it loud Sing it in the street Sing it proud to those you meet And when you learn You learn to love You can rise above And love and love and love
