Wild American
You're the one they never tamed
'Cause you stood your ground
And they could not make you change
You're the warning they still don't understand
Watch your back, boy, they'll kill you if they can
When they burn your brother down in the name of Freedon
I don't care if it's left or right
It's wrong
If that's all they can do then you don't need 'em
You're the one, Wild American
