Lyrics
American Child
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
After the war we'll settle down
Move out west buy a house in California
After the war we'll leave this goddam town
Find a job that pays you a whole lotta money
Raise an American Child
Born under a blanket of fear
Raised without any kind of certainty
Searching for anything real
Raised in a so called liberty
Up another house for sale
How they gonna keep the dogs away
After it all we'll figure it out
Start a life there ain't no one town better
Raise an American Child
