Dead Horses - American Poor lyrics
Artist: Dead Horses
album: My Mother the Moon
There's a new generation of poor
Faces clean and their eyes are pure
Empty stomachs but their mouths are full
American proud, American poor
They'll send you a free book every year
A discount for your diagnosis, Dear
They'll give you pills to take away your fears
American poor, American here
I left my innocence in the sea
With all things that I made believe
Shadow thing, it's just me
Make believe, make believe
The people are working silently
Sweatin' in their own salty sea
Now they're setting fire out in the streets
American proud, American poor
I left my innocence in the sea
With all things that I made believe
Shadow thing, it's just me
Make believe, make believe
There can be no greater thing
Than to love a stranger
Yes, there can be no greater thing
American proud, American poor
We treat the people who serve us like shit
Cause nothing would ever really come of it
It's fair if you say it's fair. It ain't me so it's not there
American proud, American poor
I left my innocence in the sea
With all things that I made believe
Shadow thing, it's just me
Make believe, make believe
Faces clean and their eyes are pure
Empty stomachs but their mouths are full
American proud, American poor
They'll send you a free book every year
A discount for your diagnosis, Dear
They'll give you pills to take away your fears
American poor, American here
I left my innocence in the sea
With all things that I made believe
Shadow thing, it's just me
Make believe, make believe
The people are working silently
Sweatin' in their own salty sea
Now they're setting fire out in the streets
American proud, American poor
I left my innocence in the sea
With all things that I made believe
Shadow thing, it's just me
Make believe, make believe
There can be no greater thing
Than to love a stranger
Yes, there can be no greater thing
American proud, American poor
We treat the people who serve us like shit
Cause nothing would ever really come of it
It's fair if you say it's fair. It ain't me so it's not there
American proud, American poor
I left my innocence in the sea
With all things that I made believe
Shadow thing, it's just me
Make believe, make believe
