American Burning Songtext
von Shinedown

Hip-hip, hip hooray they say
You′ve got it made
Hip-hip, hip hooray, hooray
Yeah, the world is a stage

Where you can act out loud and rattle the cage
And remove any doubt that you're enraged
Like a fool I guess at the end of the day
You might be woke but not awake

(Pray) if you need it
(Beg) if you want it
(Scream) if you′re for it
Devastation
(Pray) if you need it
(Beg) if you want it
(Scream) if you hate it
Desperation
The wrong information


Pray for your family and cry yourself to sleep
Pledge your allegiance to the flag under your feet
Is this apocalypse now?
Who let the animals out?
Hip hip hooray, say something shocking
Who doesn't love a parade with gasoline and grenades?
Don't be afraid, it′s just America burning

Hip-hip, hip hooray they say
You′ve got it made
Your theory might be critical, but who's in charge?
If victimhood is currency, then you won′t starve

(Pray) if you need it
(Beg) if you want it
(Scream) if you're for it
Devastation
(Pray) if you need it
(Beg) if you want it
(Scream) if you hate it
Desperation
The wrong information


Pray for your family and cry yourself to sleep
Pledge your allegiance to the flag under your feet
Is this apocalypse now?
Who let the animals out?
Hip hip hooray, say something shocking
Who doesn′t love a parade with gasoline and grenades?
Don't be afraid, it′s just America burning

Pray for your family and cry yourself to sleep
Pledge your allegiance to the flag under your feet
Is this apocalypse now?
Who let the animals out?
Hip hip hooray, say something shocking
Who doesn't love a parade with gasoline and grenades?
Don't be afraid, it′s just America burning
