letra de american idle - robert mayhew
american idle
[intro]
do not adjust your tv screen, in fact don’t do anything at all
what you see should make u scream though, ‘cause we about to fall
[verse 1]
i suggest you take a look for yourself
god helps those who help themselves
bring that word down from off the shelf
or did you buy what they have to sell
isn’t the mind wasted a terrible thing
when you allowed them to pull your strings
why did you buy into the news they bring
your just an american idle in the voice you sing
you never have to stand on your own
when you’re just hangin with the clones
the voice you had is now only drone
just pop another selfie on your phone
[chorus]
are you happy now?
are you happy now?
when you could have made things right
cause you had a chance to make a stand
and you could have stood, you could’ve fought
but you punked out, got bought, and took flight
and now you’ve earned the t-tle of the american idle
[verse 2]
oh i know, it ain’t your fault
you only showin what you’re taught
but trouble has come to this land before
and men have died on a foreign sh-r-
i was hoping this land could be restored
in the land of the free and home of the poor
it was in our leaders that we sought
to bring this nonsense to a halt
why should we search for the american dream
thats the part right there, a chasm of screams
the more things change, the more they’re the same
for, i, too, sing america, but i won’t be tamed
[chorus]
are we happy now?
are we happy now?
when we could have made things right
cause we had a chance to make a stand
and we could have stood, we could’ve fought
but we punked out, got bought, and took flight
and now we’ve earned the t-tle of the american idle
[outro]
is it we the people who have the right to bear arms
why do we allow ourselves to be brought such harm
maybe i’ll sing “help me ronda” but not too pitchy
or lay down the trump card if things get too b-tchy
either way it’s time for us to choose
will we help ourselves or just loosely sing the blues
cause if we don’t make a choice, we choose to lose
