American Burn
Stevie Hill, Jim Rutledge, Lee Pickens, Nick Taylor
Congregate, don't hesitate
Everybody's making a deal
Compromise, then realize
The end of your life is a steal
Free the man with the gun
Take one more life, then you run
Harmonize and memorize
All the things they taught you in school
Mediate and don't be late
All you've got to live by are rules
Stand up and be shot down, stand on your ground
Lose what you have for a word
Complicate, then re-relate
All you've got to lose is the feel
Synthesize and mesmerize
Beggars do their shows for a meal
Take all you can, it's your turn
It's called the American burn
Congregate, don't hesitate
Everybody's making a deal
Compromise, then realize
The end of your life is a steal
Free the man with the gun
Take one more life, then you run
