American Man Lyrics - Let Freedom Ring - Chuck Prophet

American Man 

Up on the mound 

With the Orange Alert 

And the New Wave sounds 

American Man 

In the laundry pile 

With the rain-check claims 

And the skateboard child 

Like a shadow in the darkness 

In a plot full of holes 

I'm a hometown guy 

And a foreign spy 

Back on the street 

Up for parole 

Torn like a page 

From the book of the damned 

I'm your American man 

American Man 

Three times your size 

With blood on my lips and 

Milk in my eyes 

American Man 

With a gun in his brain 

On a blood-stained sheet 

In the Macy's parade 

Like a king with a kingdom 

In a room without a view 

We're gonna bang a gong 

Let's get it on 

But you're dry as a bone 

And I'm all over you 

Folded like a page 

From the book of the damned 

I'm your American Man 

American Man 

American Man 

In the Georgetown Bars 

With the Prozac kids 

And the Oliver Stones 

And the tabloid smiles
