Velvet Revolver - American Man lyrics

Freedom the naked power weakened by the ages
Raped, but not forgotten
All it's supple secrets gods and liberations
Those that try to use it
Are those that try to sheath it wide awake

Yes, I am the American man
Yes, I am the American man
Yes, I am the American man
Yes, I am the American man

Free man haunted by the music
Ghosts of generations
Beat the drums for freedom
Those who toiled and suffered
Now, those they try to smother wide awake

Yes, I am the American man
Yes, I am the American man
Yes, I am the American man
Yes, I am the American man

Where to begin? Bred to win
Where do I go? The soul worn off my skin
So
I cut out the hole in my soul, I know is you
So are we ready ready to lose?
I know I feel, feel, feel inside the walls
Inside the walls
The iron walls protect the souls
Of my old boots

Yes, I am the American man
Yes, I am the American man
Yes, I am the American man
Yes, I am the American man
Yes, I am the American man
Yes, I am the American man
Yes, I am the American man
Yes, I am the American man
