American Hearts Lyrics
Yeah! You're part of it
Hey! You're part of it
Yeah! You're part of it
Watching people pushing shopping carts
And there's a guy above me
And he's washing windows
Making ten bucks a pop
And he says to me...
Yeah! You're part of it
Hey! You're part of it
Yeah! You're part of it
History continues itself
Continues itself
History continues itself
And I did not create the rules
And all I've seen
This place has broken
My American heart
From all I've heard
And all I've seen
This place has broken
My American heart
Yeah! You're part of it
Hey! You're part of it
Yeah! You're part of it

Mountain Dew Mountain Dew Mountain Dew Mountain Dew Mountain Dew .... Wait What was I saying?

Awesome song, but the lyrics are a little wrong. Because I don't know how to edit or add lyrics- I guess I'll just do it here.
Hey! You're part of it Yeah! You're part of it Hey! You're part of it Yeah! You're part of it
And I walk the streets of a Carolina Watching people pushing shopping carts And there's a guy above me Washing windows- Making 10 bucks a pop And he says to me...
Hey! You're part of it Yeah! You're part of it Hey! You're part of it Yeah! You're part of it
And I say "Sir, well have you heard?... That this country is unequal still History, continues itself Continues itself Histroy, continues itself...
And I did not create the rules."
From all I've heard And all I've seen This place has broken My american heart
From all I've heard And all I've seen This place has broken My american heart
Hey! You're part of it Yeah! You're part of it Hey! You're part of it Yeah! You're part of it

fuck canada. i can't believe i just got into piebald and their reunion shows literally start in 3 days
like god damn, what are the chances and how is that for a kick to the nuts!?

obviously i say fuck canada because the shows are in america and i'm in vancouver. maybe i should say fuck america?

Yay. throws confetti for Piebald

I love how the song relates a mini-story...I love the whole meaning behind it. Basically I think it's blatantly putting down capitalist society in America...at least, that's what I THINK...=)

yeah, this is definately against capitalism, I set in my cubicle in a large american corporation, and think about how I'm "part of it" and this song bascially makes me say, "fuck it", cause everyone is part of it some way or another.

Great song, great band, even better live

This song is definitely about the "system" and how it's unfair, anarchy, etc, whatever. It's so great though! The guy washing windows... "HEY! You're part of it." It's so meaningful - and truthful.

I don't know how to edit other peoples lyrics, ,but Emokid you forgot the yeah your part of it, which is just as important as the first your part of it. Also it is "And theres a guy ABOVE ME and he is washing windows" I am pretty sure that the above me pertains to the fact that a guy washing windows is not a slave in the same way most americans are to the capitolistic socity our goverment so eagerly adapted. So morally a window washer is above the singer of the song, either travis or a fictional person travis has created through a lyrical masterpeice.
