Freedom the naked power

Weakened by the ages

Raped but not forgotten

All it's supple secrets

Gods and liberations

Those that try to use it

Are those that try to sheath it

Wide awake

Yes I am the american man

Yes I am the american man

Yes I am the american man

Yes I am the american man

Free man

Haunted by the music

Ghosts of generations

Beat the drums for freedom

Those who toiled and suffered

Now those they try to smother

Wide awake

Yes I am the american man

Yes I am the american man

Yes I am the american man

Yes I am the american man

Where to begin

Bred to win

Where do I go

The soul worn off my skin

So...

I cut out the hole

In my soul I know is you

So are we ready

Ready to lose

I know I feel, feel, feel

Inside the walls

Inside the walls

The iron walls protect the souls

Of my old boots

Yes I am the american man

Yes I am the american man

Yes I am the american man

Yes I am the american man

Yes I am the american man

Yes I am the american man

Yes I am the american man

Yes I am the american man
