The American Lie

I've been burned to the ground
I was kicked while I'm down
Given up without a fight
I've been burned to the ground
I was kicked while I'm down
But it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

So I went all the way
Just to get through the day
Figure out where I went wrong
Kept retracing my steps to recall what I said
And all that's left is this meaningless song

But it's all, all that I have
And I'll come, come out ahead
Trust me when I say we'll make it through

But it's a lie, a lie, a lie
(The American)
It's a lie, a lie, a lie
(The American)
It's a lie, a lie, a lie
The American lie
The American lie

When there's nothing left
Boxes filled with regret
And
Just look what you've done
And afore you've come
And did it all on a minimum wage

But it's all, all that I have
And I'll come, come out ahead
Trust me when I say we'll make it through

But it's a lie, a lie, a lie
(The American)
It's a lie, a lie, a lie
(The American)
It's a lie, a lie, a lie
The American lie
The American lie

Just take your pick they're all for sale
It's in vain it's bound to fail
They're all for sale

So darling you know
It's a lie, a lie, a lie
(The American)
It's a lie, a lie, a lie
(The American)
It's a lie, a lie, a lie
The American lie
The American lie
The American lie
The American lie
The American lie
The American lie
