Intro

Verse

Yeah I'm stealing cigarettes Selling them off to friends for rent

Plus a paycheck and still in debt I'm asking, how could it be?

I know they know I'm beneath them Even homeless assholes know my name

Now it's Urban Flight or cell for the night Y'know it's all the same

Pre-chorus

One can tell themselves About when going gets tough

But determination Just ain't enough

When over-time defines your life

Chorus

This American Me

This American Me

Verse 2

same as first):

Tradition tells us home own But the timecards saying no go

Now the suits are talking foreclose From sea to shining sea

Time was a war time economy Was a silver lining to tragedy

But even those with homes are now those alone In the land of the free

I asked for nothing And I got it in spades

Worked for a living and I earned a cage

Now they say I look old for my age

This American me

This American me

I'm pretty sure that's right. Feel free to correct if not!
