Only An American by lcwells published on 2019-05-13T19:23:58Z Only An American©2018 Music & Lyrics LC Wells Performed by LC Wells I’m only an American And I watch what I say I keep my thoughts Hidden away I’m only an American And I try not to see What liars and thieves Are doing to me But I know That something Is wrong There’s going to be Some bad problems Before too long I’m only an American And I live in a dream And I always fall For the rich-man’s schemes I’m only an American And I live in the past I don’t like the future And the present won’t last But I know That something Is wrong There’s going to be Some bad problems Before too long They told me to Believe in the American dream Then they took my job And shipped it overseas I got a new job It doesn’t pay too much But me and my family Are down on our luck And I feel like I’m Being taken For a fool I’m only an American And the wolves Have been fed And now they’re telling Me that Truth is dead I’m only an American And I’m living in fear They only say What they want you To hear But I know That something Is wrong There’s going to be Some bad problems Before too long But I know That something Is wrong There’s going to be Some bad problems Before too long Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter
