"American Son" lyrics
"American Son"
Hard times are coming, I can see it on the eve
Greed gathers in a white house, get ready for the feast
Sharpen their teeth, I watch the prey wait patiently
As they lead them to the slaughter, no one looks up from their screens
My American son, my American son
Just what have you done?
My American son, my American son
Who will you become?
Uncle Sam's whispering world war is coming on
War is good for business, please invest your only son
Towers are on fire and the world calls for aid
We'd burn it all again, best profit ever made
My American son, my American son
Just what have you done?
My American son, my American son
Who will you become?
There's light in the storm clouds, there's hope, I see it clear
We ain't afraid of dying, we're dying from the fear
And the politicians' laughter sounds like crying in the streets
We're just their entertainment, they got the front row seats
My American son, my American son
Just what have you done?
My American son, my American son
Who will you become?

I can't stay here if I wanna stay sane

All turned to rust as I grew old

Taylor McCall - "Black Powder Soul" Oh, I'm a warless soldier, I'm a lawless man
No, I don't play poker since that stint in Spokane
Over some bootleg moonshine, over my bathtub gin
That's why my over under is my only friend, oh yeah...
Luke Grimes - "Hold On" Hold me, but I don't recommend that you adore me
If you do don't say I didn't warn you
Trust me, I know how to start a fire from a flame
Oh I always leave before the curtain hits the floorboard
When...
Muscadine Bloodline - "10-90" When the river's raging
I'll be the levy
I'll be the steady hand that's holding on to you
I'll be the view
Your change of scenery
Let me be your way out when your walls are closing in so darlin'...
