[Verse]
G#5 B5 F#5 D5 C#5 B5 C#5
This is the America of fable, the land of Cain &
G#5 B5 F#5 D5 C#5 B5 C#5
Abel, where you're stuck with the check, but still no seat at the table
G#5 B5 F#5 D5 C#5 B5 C#5
And this is as American as fences & walls
G#5 B5 F#5 D5 C#5 F#5 A5 E5 D#5
Do the crime, let someone else take the fall
[Chorus]

[Verse]
G#5 B5 F#5 D5 C#5 B5 C#5
It's as American as taking from your neighbor
G#5 B5 F#5 D5 C#5 B5 C#5
Pledged to the flag of stolen land, stolen labor
G#5 B5 F#5 D5 C#5 B5 C#5
And this is as American as turning the screw
G#5 B5 F#5 D5 C#5 B5 C#5
Do as I say, not as I do
G#5 B5 F#5 D5 C#5
When head hits wall, and I'm not getting through
G#5 B5 F#5 D5 E5
G#5 B5 F#5 D5 C#5
I remind myself
G#5 B5 F#5 D5 E5
that these words are American, too

My heart is not a closed fist, it's an open sky
