The American Way
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.
Superman:
Truth and liberty and justice
All are in jeopardy tonight
All we cherish here, and all the values that we hold dear
Are in the balance tonight.
'Cause we're american, and it's america, and in america
We do what's right.
The firetruck's here for the kitty in the tree
Citizens:
Oh, the american way!
Superman:
And if the cops can't come, you can always call on me
Citizens:
That's the american way!
Superman:
Because I can, therefore I will.
(Dialogue)
Batman:
Tonight it's personal, I'm unleashing my arsenal
To rain blood tonight.
Tonight, I'm gonna save my bro, and if all the city has got to go
Then so be it.
Cause it's america, and I'm american, and in america
I do what I like.
If money can't fix it than I haven't found it yet
Citizens:
Oh, the american way!
Batman:
Be a born billionaire and have your butler build a jet
Citizens:
That's the american way!
Batman:
Because I can, save my chum
Do what I have to. I'm my own boss, man.
Sweet tooth:
Tonight we're taking back the town
We've got a bat trap set
We're gonna catch the clown
In america tonight.
We've got a warhead ready in the water supply
Tonight the bat and his bull won't fly
So robin, goodnight!
Cause it's america, and we're american, and in america
We fight!
Never gonna win ‘til your enemies are dead
Rogues:
Oh, the american way!
Sweet tooth:
Spreading dread and blowing up their heads
Rogues:
That's the american way!
Sweet tooth:
Because I candy do as I please
I'm spreading chocolate, baby, on gotham's cheese.
Superman:
The letter of the law is a capital "s"
Citizens:
Oh, the american way!
Citizen:
We're all just pawns in a fuckin' game of chess
Citizens:
That's the american way!
Two face:
A briefcase filled with two dollar bills
Citizens:
Oh, the american way!
Batman:
Inheritance trust funds, million dollar bills
Citizens:
That's the american
Not quite canadian
Most of us are mexican
American...
American...
American...
American way!
