[00:09.36]Well they tied that yellow ribbon round the oak tree.
[00:13.87]They've worn out all the prayer in their hearts.
[00:17.36]
[00:18.17]All along thought they were routing for the home team,
[00:21.93]
[00:22.87]As they're sent to the game and torn apart.
[00:26.13]
[00:27.39]With twists this turn a kid up on the pipeline,
[00:31.28]
[00:32.34]He carries all the pain in the world.
[00:35.21]
[00:36.33]As we blindly clap and cheer from the sidelines
[00:39.92]It's clear, on a losing streak from the very start
[00:44.74]And that's where they found me,
[00:48.36]
[00:49.12]In the cemetary.
[00:52.36]
[00:54.23]A smoking gun in my hand,
[00:56.50]Now I'm damned for the land of the free.
[01:00.99]Sing with me,
[01:02.43]The american scream.
[01:06.17]
[01:13.04]They took that faded ribbon off the oak tree.
[01:16.91]
[01:17.53]They've worn out all the hope in their hearts.
[01:20.52]
[01:21.79]All along thought I was doing the right thing,
[01:25.82]
[01:26.57]Now I'm lying in a pool of my blood.
[01:29.75]
[01:30.38]And that's where she found me,
[01:33.50]
[01:34.56]In the cemetary,
[01:37.74]
[01:39.68]A smoking gun in my hand,
[01:41.93]Now I'm damned for the land of the free.
[01:45.68]
[01:46.49]Sing with me.
[01:48.05]
[01:48.61]And that's where she found me,
[01:51.67]
[01:52.73]In the cemetary,
[01:55.85]
[01:57.84]A smoking gun in my hand,
[02:00.20]Now I'm damned for the land of the free.
[02:04.63]Sing with me,
[02:06.00]The american scream.
[02:10.20]
[02:15.44]The american scream.
[02:18.69]
[02:25.01]And that's where she found me,
[02:28.56]
[02:29.25]In the cemetary,
[02:33.24]
[02:34.31]A smoking gun in my hand,
[02:36.55]Now I'm damned for the land of the free.
[02:41.11]Sing with me,
[02:42.79]The american scream.
