lyrics

I fear I've unwound
You placed your head in the ground
Allowing the sand to diminish the sound
I'm a sorrowing saint
Held responsible for our fate
Arrived and I'm plotting to dig you out

Suppressing my will
Clouding my mind again with shrill
Voices allotting for us to be free
Selection will play its game
Not if we challenge it
Not if we're willing to alter our minds

American now

Its what its like to be American now
I'll show you how to be American now
Innocent life

[John F. Kennedy Speech]
"Whatever our hopes may be for the future, for reducing this threat or living with it, there is no escaping the gravity or totality of its challenge to our survival and to our security. A challenge that confronts us in unaccustomed ways in every sphere of human activity."

There's a strange comfort
Putting guns to our brother's heads
But it's how we're bred
It's our innocence compromised

American now
