American Blood Lyrics - Bulletproof - Reckless Kelly

Johnny can't drink cause Johnny ain't twenty-one 

Ya but he's eighteen and he's pretty handy with a gun 

They sent him off to a foreign land gave him a new pair of boots and thirteen grand and he came back home with American blood on his hands George is a real go getter and he's runnin' the show and he should have known better but his old man told him to go 

He sits at home with his feet on his desk while the boys got their's in the sand 

A million miles away with American blood on their hands 

Johnny can't walk but the medic says he's o.k. to fly 

And the newspapers tell us he's a hero and a hell of a guy 

They sent him up to Washington for a photo op with a smoking gun 

He's got a purple heart and American blood on his hands 

[Chorus] 

Black gold for silver stars 

Cold hard cash for armored cars 

The brass ain't fightin' but they're sure as hell taking a stand 

And they'll have to live with American blood on their hands 

Now George stands up on a boat proudly waving the flag 

He says the hard part's over and we knew it wouldn't be so bad 

But roadside bombs and six long years were never really part of the plan 

What's a couple thousand more with American blood on their hands 

[Chorus] 

Now johnny can drink all day 'cause he's twenty-three 

He donated his legs to the worldwide land of the free 

He cries God bless America but God damn uncle Sam 

While he stares through the tears with American blood on his hands 

[Chorus]
