Well I was in a place once
Where if you wanted something then you took it for yourself
Cause that was the way of doing things to keep the balance perfect
But I, I never did it

And I, I want what you got
And I don't ever want to share
'Cause it's capital and if you're poor, you've got yourself to blame
In such a righteous country

Just play an American song
Just play an American song

I'm never wrong
And I don't ever want to change
You know that I just want to live by standards high beyond my means
Of course, I won't admit it

Just play an American song
Just play an American song
Just play an American song
Just play an American song

I defend my family honor
And I'm not ashamed to tell you
That I don't care what happens to the rest of all the world
No I, I just pretend to

Just play an American song
Just play an American song
Just play an American song
Just play an American song
Just play an American song
Just play an American song
Just play an American song
Just play an American song
Just play an American song
Just play an American song
Just play an American song
Just play an American song
