The New American Way Songtext
von Dropkick Murphys

Now each day when I wake up and I set my best foot forward
I′ll make an effort to be all that I can be
I take a look around me and I wonder how things change so much
In the few short years since I was a young boy

Let's go!
Do you know what we′re fighting for?
I know in an instant I could lose everything I'm working toward

Yeah, I know I'll win my battles
Though I fear we′ll lose the war
To the new American way
I know I′ll win my battles
Though I fear we'll lose the war
To the new American way


Well, the morals of this nation′s youth have
Long gone astray
Led by tolerance, indifference
And this kinder gentler way
That has corrupted and destroyed
So many of our boys and girls
Oh Lord I start to wonder
Will it ever come around?

Go!
Do you know what we're fighting for?
I know in an instant I could lose everything I′m working toward

Yeah, I know I'll win my battles
Though I fear we′ll lose the war
To the new American way
I know I'll win my battles
Though I fear we'll lose the war
To the new American way, go!

Yeah
I know I′ll win my battles
Though I fear we′ll lose the war
To the new American way
I know I'll win my battles
Though I fear we′ll lose the war
To the new American way
I know I'll win my battles
Though I fear we′ll lose the war
To the new American way


I know I'll win my battles
Though I fear we′ll lose the war
To the new American way
