Verse 1: Loved it once, she's starting to break Life we won being given away Losing faith, I hear the preacher say Treasure the past, it's the American Way Never been the sort to head downtown To too much color, to too much sound My father could see this, "Burn it all down" It was sacred to him, this American ground Chorus: The modern world, it's got me up on a wall They call it living; I'm hardly living at all In times of trouble, I pray to God that I never have to take it too far So raise the flag cover your heart with your hand Hear the call and heed the command Living my life with my head in the sand Praise the Lord, I'm an American Man Praise the Lord, I'm an American Man Bridge (instrumental) Verse 2: There's trash in the streets and the devil's in charge We lost everything of value in the cultural wars This is my home and I'm a stranger here If I had any left I'd cry American tears I'm not a violent man and they've already won But I'm bringing the plague, I'm bringing the guns They won't stand with me, they'll damn sure run Remember the words of America's son Chorus: The modern world, it's got me up on a wall They call it living; I'm hardly living at all In times of trouble, I pray to God that I never have to take it too far So raise the flag, oh isn't she grand Casting her shadows, her applause is canned I salute her virtues with blood on my hands Praise the Lord, I'm an American Man Praise the Lord, I'm an American Man Bridge (instrumental) Chorus: Raise the flag, see how she stands See her colors, know who I am I'll die for her and by my own hand Praise, the Lord, I'm an American Man Praise, the Lord, I'm an American Man (Repeat and fade)
