AMERICAN

 workin like a fuckin tank,doin whatever it takes to make ends meet.
 gotta pay these bills,cause this damn life is just to real.
 I aint lost and I will never be on top,the takin and takin just never stops.
 bleeding in my heart bleedin in my soul,pushin on up this hill is takin its toll.
 rolling on like a motherfuckin steam engine,damn near killin myself to break even.
 uncle sam doesn't do shit for me,but at least I get to live in this land of opportunity.
 hope floats or so they say but that motherfuckin ship capzied in the dockin bay.
 writing this fast cause time marches on,spelling check broke but hell that's just my luck.
 but if u been there you know exactly what I mean.there isn't no song and dance or living on a dream.
 raw life here if you got leatherbacks from working like a machine,then you know where im coming from you done seen the scene.
 love everyone,tell no lies,never stepped on anyone to get by.
 I have new respect for the men and women who try, giving all they GOT not just sliding by.
 they go to bed hungry just so the kids can eat,putting food on the table sometimes seems an impossible feat.
 working like a mother fucker day in and day out, never complaining never in doubt.
 because they are the backbone of this country and land as their little babies die by the goverments hand.
  as they take take take
