Son of an American Lyrics

I guess he doesn't have a gun
Do you think he has a gun?
Yeah? He shot himself!
Well, we were listening to Nirvana
And as you know Kurt Cobain...
POW!
I was sitting
Safe inside my bedroom walls
It wasn't 1990 at all
But the future scene to be

Ust floatin' and everyday seem like the last
I think I'm livin' in the past
The other half move too fast

Gimme thin girl, thin TV
Ice watch, ice coffee
Malt liquor, malt ice cream
I need a condo in the country
White fence 'round the city
Don't it pay to be so free?

'Cause I'm a Son of an American
Thats no lie
Sun's brighter than its ever been
Why Ain't I?
'Cause Im a Son of an American
That's Why

Don't wanna hear about it ever again.

Take me out to the ball game
I want to sit in the stands and scream
I wanna root for the losing team
Like that day
The stadium was Shea
And I lived in a rally cap
And the underdog would say

I'm a Son of an American

I tried and tried but I can't hide
What I am as an American
And all the kids overseas
Can't never know freedom like me

'Cause I'm a Son of an American
