A. A. Bondy - American Hearts lyrics

rate me

We were raised by wolves<br />

And we are still wild<br />

And we howl when the troubled wind blows<br />

And in the TV's blue light<br />

Oh, assassins will lie<br />

Every wail just a-goin' down slow<br />

<br />

So don't tread on me<br />

For I am your brother<br />

I was born with an American heart<br />

And don't tread on her<br />

For she is your sister<br />

She was born with an American heart<br />

<br />

All the people you meet<br />

Down in the streets<br />

May be good but they don't wanna know<br />

So they cover their eyes, for<br />

Who wants to be sad?<br />

Life is sweet at the bottom of the sea<br />

<br />

And don't tread on me<br />

For I am your brother<br />

I was born with an American heart<br />

And don't tread on her<br />

For she is your sister<br />

She was born with an American heart<br />

<br />

And the mothers will cry,<br />

Fathers stay up all night<br />

With the worry that goes to the bones<br />

And if your God makes war<br />

Then he's no God I know<br />

'Cause Christ would not send boys to die<br />

<br />

And don't tread on me<br />

For I am your brother<br />

I was born with an American heart<br />

And don't tread on her<br />

For she is your sister<br />

She was born with an American heart<br />

<br />

Don't you get low as hell<br />

When the peace dove is felled<br />

By men with the blackest of minds<br />

And above the din<br />

Let the sighin' begin<br />

As we're bound for the longest of days<br />

<br />

So don't tread on me<br />

For I am your brother<br />

I was born with an American heart<br />

And don't tread on her<br />

For she is your sister<br />

She was born with an American heart

<br />
