    'MERICAN by The Descendents
    ---------------------------

    we flipped our finger to the king of england
    stole our country from the indians
    with gaul at our side and guns in our hands
    we took it for our own
    a nation dedicated to liberty
    justice and equality
    doesn't look that way to you
    it doesn't look that way to me
    the sickest joke i know

    [chorus]
    listen up man, i'll tell you who i am
    just another stupid american
    you don't wanna listen
    you don't wanna understand
    so finish up your drink and go home

    i come from the land of ben franklin
    otis redding, ellington
    the country that i love
    but it's a land of the slaves and the ku klux klan
    haymarket riot and the great depression
    don't get caught in vietnam
    the sickest joke i know

    [chorus]

    i'm proud and ashamed
    every fourth of july
    you got to know the truth
    before you say that you got pride

    [chorus]

    not the cops got taste 'cause the kids got guns
    shrinks pushin' pills on everyone
    cancer from the ocean
    cancer from the sun
    straight to hell we go
