All American lyrics

by

Toby Keith


[Verse 1]
There’s a strip mall 'round the corner, lease signs in every window
And fear in almost all my neighbors’ eyes
There’s a disconnect between the politicians and the people
We know half the time they're gonna lie
Aren’t we all on the same side?

[Chorus]
There’s no us and there’s no them
We're all out there on a limb
There’s no kings and there’s no queens
Just a pot of melted dreams
What makes us so quick to fight?
No one wants to compromise
Sometimes it's all so hard to understand
Aren’t we all American?

[Verse 2]
We can’t agree on nothing, even as our country's
Hanging in the balance by a thread
There’s bonuses for bosses and bankers hiding losses
While our leaders close their eyes and turn their heads
Aren’t we all on the same side?

[Bridge]
What if my son's class was closing down?
My brother's house the bank sold out
My father’s farm we could not save
My mother lost her job today
My wife just said tuition's more
Another year we can’t afford
So my daughter's dropping out of school
If this was me what would I do?
[Chorus]
There’s no us and there’s no them
We're all out there on a limb
There’s no kings and there’s no queens
Just a pot of melted dreams
What makes us so quick to fight?
No one wants to compromise
For sometimes it's all so hard to understand
Get back to being neighbors and friends
Aren’t we all American?
