I am a real American,
Fight for the rights of every man.
I am a real American,
Fight for what's right - fight for your life!
When it comes crashin' down and it hurts inside,
You've gotta take a stand- it don't help to hide.
When you hurt my friends then you hurt my pride.
I gotta be a man - I can't let it slide.
I am a real American,
Fight for the rights of every man.
I am a real American,
Fight for what's right - fight for your life!
Well I feel strong about right and wrong
And I don't take trouble for very long.
I've got something deep inside of me,
And courage is the thing that keeps us free!
I am a real American,
Fight for the rights of every man.
I am a real American,
Fight for what's right - fight for your life!
I am a real American,
Fight for the rights of every man.
I am a real American,
Fight for what's right - fight for your life!
I am a real American,
Fight for the rights of every man.
I am a real American,
Fight for what's right - fight for your life!
