about

In the tradition of the protest song, American Body was written in reflection of our current generation's woes. We talk of rumors of war, of poison in the foods and medicine, and of pain so lightly in conversation, when, in fact, these are desperate signs that our country must change.

lyrics

American body
Settle my soul
Settle my soul
American body
You got blood in the water
And poison in the soil

And all these things
Make me believe
We can’t win
When they’re breaking bones
Just to watch them bend

I’ve heard them talking
They say stand by
You can’t stand by
‘Cause we’ve been a target
And you’ve watched men cry
You watched them die
Oh, when the bullets have flown
Will this still be home?
I believe that it won’t

Oh my god
Can you hear me now
Country’s gone crazy
What is that about?
Oh my god
You in a saving mood?
These young bones are feeling like
I can’t make it through
Oh my god
We’re just living for fun
Spending these days
Waiting for the next ones

We got troubles, troubles, troubles
We got troubles, troubles, troubles

American body
American body
American body
