"American Hearts"
We were raised by wolves and we are still wild
And we howl when the troubled wind blows
And in the TV's blue light oh assassins will lie
Everywhere just a goin' down slow
So don't tread on me for I am your brother
I was born with an American heart
And don't tread on her for she is your sister
She was born with an American heart
And all the people you meet down in the streets
May be good but they don't wanna know
So they cover their eyes for who wants to be sad
Life is sweet at the bottom of the sea
So don't tread on me for I am your brother
I was born with an American heart
And don't tread on her for she is your sister
She was born with an American heart
And the mothers will cry, fathers stay up all night
With a worry that goes to the bone
And if your God makes war then he's no God I know
Cause Christ would not send boys to die
And don't tread on me for I am your brother
I was born with an American heart
And don't tread on her for she is your sister
She was born with an American heart
And don't you get low as hell when the peace dove is felled
By a man with the blackest of minds
And above the den let the sighing begin
As we're bound for the longest of days
So don't tread on me for I am your brother
I was born with an American heart
And don't tread on her for she is your sister
She was born with an American heart
