American Hearts

We were raised by wolves
and we are still wild.
And we have when the troubled wind blows.

And the TV's blue light
for ------ will lie
and he will just to go on down slow.

So don't tread on me for I am your brother.
I was born with an American heart.
And don't tread on her for she is your sister.
She was born with an American heart.

and all the people you meet
down in the street
may be good but they don't wanna know
so they cover their eyes
for who wants to be sad?
Life is sweet at the bottom of the sea.

So don't tread on me for I am your brother.
I was born with an American heart.
And don't tread on her for she is your sister.
She was born with an American heart.

And the mothers will cry.
Fathers stay up all night
with the worry that goes to the bones.
And if your god makes war
then he's no god I know
'cuz Christ would not send boys to die.

So don't tread on me for I am your brother.
I was born with an American heart.
And don't tread on her for she is your sister.
She was born with an American heart.

Don't you get low as hell
When a pay stub is felt by a man
with the blackest of minds.
And above the den let the sighing begin
as were bound for the longest of days.

So don't tread on me for I am your brother.
I was born with an American heart.
And don't tread on her for she is your sister.
She was born with an American heart.
