lyrics

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
and figure out where I went wrong.
Kept retracing my steps,
Don’t recall what I said.
All that’s left is this meaningless song
But it’s all that I have, I’ll come out ahead.
Trust me when I say we’ll make it through

But it’s a lie. The American Lie.

When there is nothing left.
Boxes filled with regrets.
and a bag of apathy.
Just look what you've done,
and how far you've come
And did it all on a minimum wage.
And it’s all that I have, I’ll come out ahead.
Trust me when I say we’ll make it through

It's a lie. The American Lie

Just take your pick, they’re all for sale.
It’s all in vain, it’s bound to fail, so they’re all for sale.
Darling you know it's a lie. The American Lie
