Testo To Be American

Testo To Be American

Out of the corner
Of my young eye
I see a river
I see a blue sky
I was a weakling
I wasn't too bright
But I could fall fast
And I could get high

What are you waiting for?
You haven't jumped yet
You haven't earned the right
To be a man yet
I see it in your eyes
You're just a scared kid
You need to learn to fight
To be American

I shot a gun once
Right at a beer can
I fuckin' missed it
I have such soft hands
I'm not a patriot I'm not a Christian
I wouldn't sacrifice
My life for this land

What are you waiting for?
You haven't jumped yet
You haven't earned the right
To be a man yet
I see it in your eyes
You're just a scared kid
You need to learn to fight
To be American
