American Hearts

(album: We Are the Only Friends We Have)

Hey! you´re part of it!
Yeah! you´re part of it!
Hey! you´re part of it!
Yeah! you´re part of it!

I walk the streets of a Carolina.
Watching people pushing shopping carts.
And there´s a guy above me and he´s washing windows.
Making ten bucks a pop, and he says to me:

Hey! you´re part of it!
Yeah! you´re part of it!
Hey! you´re part of it!
Yeah! you´re part of it!

And I say: sir,
Well have you heard that this country is unequal still.
History continues itself, continues itself.
History continues itself.
And I did not create the rules.

From all I´ve heard.
And all I´ve seen.
This place has broken my American heart.
From all I´ve heard.
And all I´ve seen.
This place has broken my American heart.

Hey! you´re part of it!
Yeah! you´re part of it!
Hey! you´re part of it!
Yeah! you´re part of it!
