Washed up tough buck into a foreign world Stole your culture, ridiculed But you showed them didn't you A physical wonder, that they pedestaled Smashed their records, they worshipped you Hero, hero we love you And you grew, until they pulled it out from you Yes the body, it caught up with you All alone, what to do, digging ditches, play on through In a white man's world, who are you Just a memory Just a memory The hero shines and the real man dies Just a memory Just a memory The hero shines and the real man has died Fall of the All-American, we loved you
