American Hearts

Blacklist Royals - American Hearts

There's an American heart

Reckless and wild

Beats like a cold black hurricane

Through you and me

And there's a promise of hope

That says don't you be scared son

A life here is a good one

Boy you're born to be free

Can you feel it slipping away

Just an American boy

Marching in time

Nineteen years old

When they put him up on that line

Get's him a ticket home

And a hero's salute

In a casket with stars and stripes that shine

Blinding American hearts like mine

And I feel it slipping away

I feel it slipping away

I see a government man

Under red white and blue

Smile as he explains the cost of

War to me and you

But there's no mention of no

Names, no pictures on my TV screen

It's just the same old story

The same old ****ing story again
