So American

Lyrics

[Verse 1] If pain was a color to paint on you Your heart would be the color blue Be a gradient from there until your body met your hair Which remained a silver hue You are the one they call Jesus Christ Who didn't know no rock n' roll Just a mission an' a gun to paint rainbows in Vietnam An' a heart that always told you [Pre-Chorus] There's a madness in us all There's a madness in us all So, who broke the rules? Who broke the rules? Who broke the rules? [Chorus] They said, every one of you will never try to lend a hand When the policemen don't understand Boys, all you boys, you think it's so American Girls, all you girls, yeah, you're so American [Verse 2] He may not be born of this land But he was born of this world He was born of all the mothers an' the colors of our brothers An' the love that was taught to You by the one they call Jesus Christ Who may not know no rock n' roll An' there may not be a Heaven or a place of which to send you But you know in the end [Pre-Chorus] There's a madness in us all There's a madness in us all There's a madness in us all There's a madness in us all So, who broke the rules? Who broke the rules? Who broke the rules? [Chorus] They said, every one of you will never try to lend a hand When the policemen don't understand Boys, all you boys, you think it's so American Girls, all you girls, yeah, you're so American [Post-Chorus] There's two eyes for every one of us But somebody got there first an' took them all There's two eyes for every one of us But somebody got there first an' took them all [Bridge] Man, oh man, you think it's so American Man, oh man, yeah, you're so American Man, oh man, you think it's so American Man, oh man, yeah, you're so American [Outro] There's two eyes for every one of us But somebody got there first an' took them all There's two eyes for every one of us But somebody got there first an' took them all
