Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's the American in me that makes me watch the blood
Running out of the bullet hole in his head
It's the American in me that makes me watch TV
See on the news, listen what the man said, he said
[Verse 2]
Ask not what you can do for your country
What's your country been doing to you?
Ask not what you can do for your country
What's your country been doing to your mind?
[Verse 3]
It's the American in me that makes me says it an honor to die
In a war that's just a politicians lie
It's the American in me that makes me watch TV
See how they burn the SLA
[Verse 4]
Ask not what you can do for your country
What's your country been doing to you?
Ask not what you can do for your country
What's your country been doing to you?
[Verse 5]
In the USA
In the USA
In the USA
[Verse 6]
It's the American in me that makes me watch the blood
Running out of the bullet hole in his head
It's the American in me that never wonder why
Kennedy was murdered by the FBI, said
[Verse 7]
Ask not what you can do for your country
What's your country been doing to you?
Ask not what you can do for your country
What's your country been doing to you?
[Verse 8]
Ask not what you can do for your country
What's your country been doing to you?
Ask not what you can do for your country
What's your country been doing to you?
