American Man Lyrics - American Man - The Yawpers

Verse 1: 

Loved it once, she stopped to pray 

Till I found out (?) she's being given away 

Losing faith, the preacher say 

Treasure the past, it's the American Way 

Never been asked (?) to head down South 

To too much color, to too much sound 

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

Verse 2: 

There's a clash (?) in the streets and the devil's in charge 

We lost everything about you 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, the cowards (?) shall run 

Living the words of America's son

So raise the flag, oh isn't she grand 

Casting the shadows, her causes can (?) 

I salute her virtues with blood on my hands

Chorus: 

Raise the flag, see how she stands 

See her colors, know who I am

Praise, the Lord, I'm an American Man
