The American Lie Lyrics

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.
