The American - Lyrics by Simple Minds


Lyrics
Here comes the shape, the speech that can't wait.I see you're weight, shape, bib on his overalls.
What do you know about this world, anyway?I see a man with a left-field plan,"I call a vote for to light up the sky."
What do you know about this world, anyway?
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri Americanand caught into flame.
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri Americanmassacre the day.
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri Americanand caught into flame.
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri Americanmassacre the day.
Here comes the flag!I'm walking under the black.
Every time you touch this place it feels like sin.
Every time the handshake starts the face draws in.
What do you know about this world, anyway?
Here comes the sun, an American son.
In here the sun shines so bright, eyes blind.
What do you know about this world, anyway?
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri Americanand caught into flame.
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri Americanmassacre the day.
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri Americanand caught into flame.
Ameri-ameri-ameri-ameri Americanmassacre the day.
Here comes the flag!I'm walking under the black.
Here comes the flag!
Handshake...this world
Here comes the flag!
Handshake...this world
Handshake...
