Loved her once, she′s starting to break

Life we won is being given away

Losing faith, the preacher say

Treasure the past, it's the American Way

Never been the sort to head downtown

To too much color, too much sound

My father could see this, "Burn it all down"

It was sacred to him, this American ground

The modern world, it′s got me up on a wall

They call it living; I'm hardly living at all

In times of trouble,

I pray to God that I never have to take it too far

So raise the flag cover your heart with your hand

Hear the call and heed the command

Living my life with my head in the sand

Praise the Lord, I'm an American Man

Praise the Lord, I′m an American Man

There′s trash in the streets and the devil's in charge

We lost everything of value in the cultural wars

This is my home and I′m a stranger here

If I had any left I'd cry American tears

I′m not a violent man and they've already won

But I′m bringing the plague, I'm bringing the guns

They won't stand with me, they′ll damn sure run

Remember the words of America′s son

The modern world, it's got me up on a wall

They call it living; I′m hardly living at all

In times of trouble,

I pray to God that I never have to take it too far

So raise the flag, oh isn't she grand

Casting her shadows, her applause is canned

I salute her virtues with blood on my hands

Praise the Lord, I′m an American Man

Praise the Lord, I'm an American Man

Raise the flag, see how she stands

See her colors, know who I am

I′ll die for her and by my own hand

Praise, the Lord, I'm an American Man

Praise, the Lord, I'm an American Man
