AMERICAN BOYS

You tell me  
Be the future, solid and sure
How to know right from wrong
Be the things that you never were
When to be off and on
Be a man when I don’t know how
Fight what the world allows
My generation’s reputation
On my shoulders right now			

Tell me why
Freedom comes from giving up my own						
And my sex means I am all alone							
Lover, fighter – Who am I today 
Not what you say				

All the feelings you would have us hide			
We can smile when crying deep inside				
Let me tell ya who will run this show
This is what I know  									
We’re American boys
We’re American boys
And we’re here to take a stand
And all American boys
Make their American noise
But we still can lend a hand 
And our American way 
Is the one that we say 
It’s our lives and we won’t hide	
And yeah we’re telling you here
Our dreams are nothin’ to fear
For the boys who fight with pride

You tell me
Get a job, you’re not playing cool
What are you tryin’ to say
Get a clue, or you’ll be a fool   
I don’t know what you say
I’m not gettin’ what you believe
It’s not my vision, so
This is nothin’, nothin’ I need 
Cuz it’s my life you know			

We’re sexy
I’m a fire waitin’ to ignite 							
I’m the blaze that’s burning up the night					
I’m the vision of a million dreams
Tell ya what it means 								

We’re the glory destined from our birth 					
We’re the future, heaven here on earth  					
We’re the road where all of yours will lead
The legacy you’ll leave  							
	
We’re American boys

It’s our lives and we won’t hide	
And yeah we’re telling you here

The life 									
The life 									
The life	
Of an American boy

Livin’ the life						
Livin’ the life						
Livin’ the life
Cuz we’re American boys

No matter what you do – No matter what you say					
I’ve got a lot to prove – but I’ll protect you anyway
And you can talk your trash – and you can stay or leave
But I’m an American Boy, I’ll fight for what I believe	

We’re American boys								
We’re American boys
