We Americans - song lyrics

I grew up with reverence for the red, white, and blue
Spoke of God and liberty, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance
Learned love of country from my own family
Some shivered and prayed, approaching the beaches of Normandy

The flag waves high and that's how it should be
So many lives given and taken in the name of freedom
But the story's complicated and hard to read
Pages of the book obscured or torn out completely

I am a son of Uncle Sam
And I struggle to understand the good and evil
But I'm doing the best I can
In a place built on stolen land with stolen people

Blood in the soil with the cotton and tobacco
Blood in the soil with the cotton and tobacco
Blood in the soil with the cotton and tobacco

A misnamed people and a kidnapped race
Laws may change but we can't erase the scars of a nation
Of children devalued and disavowed
Displaced by greed and the arrogance of Manifest Destiny

Short-sighted to say it was a long time ago
Not even two lifetimes have passed since the days of Lincoln
The sins of Andrew Jackson, the shame of Jim Crow
And time moves slow when the tragedies are beyond description

I am a son of Uncle Sam
And I struggle to understand the good and evil
But I'm doing the best I can
In a place built on stolen land with stolen people

We are more than the sum of our parts
All these broken homes and broken hearts
God will you keep us wherever we go?
Will you forgive us for where we've been?
We Americans

Blood on the table with the coffee and the sugar
Blood on the table with the coffee and the sugar
Blood on the table with the coffee and the sugar

I've been to every state, and seen shore to shore
The still open wounds of the Civil War
Watched blind hatred bounce back and forth
Seen vile prejudice both in the south and the north

And accountability is hard to impose
On ghosts of ancestors haunting the halls of our conscience
But the path of grace and goodwill is still here
For those of us who may be considered among the living

I am a son of God and man
And I may never understand the good and evil
But I dearly love this land
Because of, and in spite of, we the people

We are more than the sum of our parts
All these broken bones and broken hearts
God will you keep us wherever we go?
Can you forgive us for where we've been?
We Americans

We Americans

Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory
Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory
Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory
Love

Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory
Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory
Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory

Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory
Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory
Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory
Love

Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory
Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory
Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory

You said you're having strange dreams Are they good or bad or both? Got a head full, blurry thoughts, babe You livin' with a ghost In a big house in the country Too much space and you feel trapped Thoughts go bouncing off the walls Got no one there to watch your back Should we start lovin', give this a try? You got baggage, but so do I You got baggage, but so do I Let's give it a try B-A-G-G-A-G-E Get off my back, you're killin' me Get off my back Get off my back Get off my back I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free This love is like a business It could drive us both insane Blind emotion leads to commotion But part of me likes that game Part of me wants the chaos And part of me walks alone What am I doing, who am I foolin' It's a life spent on your own Should we start lovin', give this a try? You got baggage, but so do I You got baggage, but so do I Let's give it a try B-A-G-G-A-G-E Get off my back, you're killin' me Get off my back Get off my back Get off my back I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free I've spent my whole life running I've spent my whole life running from myself I've spent my whole life running I've spent my whole life running from myself B-A-G-G-A-G-E Get off my back, you're killin' me Get off my back Get off my back Get off my back I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free I'm breakin' free

They pulled in just behind the bridge He lays her down, he frowns Gee my life's a funny thing, am I still too young? He kissed her then and there She took his ring, took his babies It took him minutes, took her nowhere Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything, but All night She wants a young American Young American, young American, she wants the young American All night But she wants the young American Scanning life through the picture window She finds the slinky vagabond He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang But Heaven forbid, she'll take anything But the freak, and his type, all for nothing Misses a step and cuts his hand, but Showing nothing, he swoops like a song She cries, "Where have all Papa's heroes gone?" All night She wants the young American Young American, young American, she wants the young American All right Well, she wants the young American All the way from Washington Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor We live for just these twenty years Do we have to die for the fifty more? All night He wants the young American Young American, young American He wants the young American All right (all right) Well, he wants the young American Do you remember, your President Nixon? Do you remember, the bills you have to pay? Or even yesterday? Have been the un-American? Just you and your idol sing falsetto 'Bout Leather, leather everywhere, and Not a myth left from the ghetto Well, well, well, would you carry a razor In case, just in case of depression? Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors Blushing at all the Afro-Sheeners Ain't that close to love? Well, ain't that poster love? Well, it ain't that Barbie doll Her hearts have been broken just like you and All night All night you want the young American Young American, young American, you want the young American All right You want the young American You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler A pimp's got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache (I heard the news today, oh, boy) I got a suite and you got defeat Ain't there a man who can say no more? And, ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw? And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging? Ain't there a pen that will write before they die? Ain't you proud that you've still got faces? Ain't there one damn song that can make me Break down and cry? All night I want the young American Young American, young American, I want the young American All right I want the young American, young American Young American, young American I want the young American (I want what you want) All night (I want what you, you want I) Young American, want the young American All right Young American, young American, I want the young American All right

If I get murdered in the city Don't go revenging in my name One person dead from such is plenty No need to go get locked away When I leave your arms The things that I think of No need to get over alarmed I'm coming home I wonder which brother is better Which one our parents love the most I sure did get in lots of trouble They seemed to let the other go A tear fell from my father's eyes I wondered what my dad would say He said, "I love you and I'm proud of you both In so many different ways" If I get murdered in the city Go read the letter in my desk Don't bother with all my belongings But pay attention to the list Make sure my sister knows I loved her Make sure my mother knows the same Always remember there was nothing worth sharing Like the love that let us share our name Always remember there was nothing worth sharing Like the love that let us share our name

Tell the truth to yourself And the rest will fall in place Tell the truth to yourself And the rest will fall in place I lied to the doctor I lied to my lover I wanna make amends But where do I start? Tell the truth to yourself And the rest will fall in place Tell the truth to yourself And the rest will fall in place Tell the truth to yourself Tell the truth I can make my mother, my father, my sister, my brother My lover, my neighbor, my friends, all happy Give of myself whatever they ask But without this single truth, it is only emptiness that I cast A happiness that will not last But I'm not here for that For what does happiness help Without this simple truth given to thyself? I was the coward I did strangle your heart I wanna make amends But where do I start? Tell the truth to yourself And the rest will fall in place Tell the truth to yourself And the rest will fall in place Tell the truth to yourself And the rest will fall in place Tell the truth to yourself And the rest will fall in place

I don't write 'cause I don't think I don't have a need to speak I don't see the bright side, quite as clear Accolades and happy days They don't ever last Stories of courage clouded up with fear In the broom grass, I would l lie Glimmer in my eye, the sun smiled back on me From victory, I tried To match eternal light with how I live my life Of course, I was forced to retreat From victory,I accept defeat Waxy green and yellow walls Outside my windows fall Covering the light I thought I'd see Am I sad or am I sick? What's at the root of it? Do I throw my hands and quit? Something tells me, no In the broom grass, I would l lie Glimmer in my eye, the sun smiled back on me From victory, I tried To match eternal light with how I live my life Of course, I was forced to retreat From victory, I accept defeat Worries on all sides of my mind In silence, my darkness is denied In the broom grass, I would l lie Glimmer in my eye, the sun smiled back on me From victory, I tried To match eternal light with how I live my life Of course, I was forced to retreat And from victory, I accept defeat From victory I accept defeat

That's How I Got to Memphis - The Avett Brothers

If you love somebody enough you'll follow wherever they go That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis If you love somebody enough you'll go where your heart wants to go That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis. I know if you'd seen her you'd tell me 'cause you are my friend I've got to find her and find out the trouble she's in And if you tell me she' not here you can follow the trail of her tears That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis. She'd get mad and she used to say that she'd come back to Memphis some day That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis I haven't eaten a bite or slept for three days and nights That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis. I've got to find her and tell her that I love her so I'll never rest till I find out why she had to go So thank you for your precious time, forgive me if I start to cryin' That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis...

I Wish I Was - The Avett Brothers

@Sofie

I wish I was a flame dancing in a candle Lighting up your living room high on a mantle I could bring some romance without any scandal And then when you were done you'd just put me out I wish I was a tune you sang in your kitchen Putting your groceries away and washing your dishes I could float around your tongue and ease the tension And then when you were done you'd just quiet down But, if I get too close Will the magic fade? Would I turn you off or away? If I pull you in Would I push you out Of something here you care about? I'm at a loss for what to do I'm drawn to you I wish I was a sweater wrapped around your hips And when it got too cold into me you'd slip And when the sun came back you would hang me up And I would watch you while you undress But, if I get too close Will the magic fade? Would I turn you off or away? If I pull you in Now, would I push you out Of something here you care about? Well, I'm at a loss for what to do But, I'm drawn to you I'm not a song I am not a sweater I'm not a fire I am something better I'm a man in love writing you a letter Will you take it? Will you keep it? Will you read it? Believe it I love you I'm sorry

This Land Is Your Land - The Avett Brothers

This land is your land, this land is my land From California, to the New York Island From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me As I was walking that ribbon of highway I saw above me that endless skyway I saw below me that golden valley This land was made for you and me This land is your land, this land is my land From California, to the New York Island From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me I've roamed and rambled, and I've followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts And all around me a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me This land is your land, this land is my land From California, to the New York Island From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me The sign was painted, said 'Private Property' But on the backside, it didn't say nothing This land was made for you and me This land is your land, this land is my land From California, to the New York Island From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me This land was made for you and me
