So American lyrics

[Verse 1]

If pain was a color to paint on you

Your heart would be the color blue

Be a gradient from there until your body met your hair

Which remained a silver hue

You are the one they call Jesus Christ

Who didn't know no rock n' roll

Just a mission an' a gun to paint rainbows in Vietnam

An' a heart that always told you

[Pre-Chorus]

There's a madness in us all

There's a madness in us all

So, who broke the rules?

Who broke the rules?

Who broke the rules?

[Chorus]

They said, every one of you will never try to lend a hand

When the policemen don't understand

Boys, all you boys, you think it's so American

Girls, all you girls, yeah, you're so American

[Verse 2]

He may not be born of this land

But he was born of this world

He was born of all the mothers an' the colors of our brothers

An' the love that was taught to

You by the one they call Jesus Christ

Who may not know no rock n' roll

An' there may not be a Heaven or a place of which to send you

But you know in the end

[Pre-Chorus]

There's a madness in us all

There's a madness in us all

There's a madness in us all

There's a madness in us all

So, who broke the rules?

Who broke the rules?

Who broke the rules?

[Chorus]

They said, every one of you will never try to lend a hand

When the policemen don't understand

Boys, all you boys, you think it's so American

Girls, all you girls, yeah, you're so American

[Post-Chorus]

There's two eyes for every one of us

But somebody got there first an' took them all

There's two eyes for every one of us

But somebody got there first an' took them all

[Bridge]

Man, oh man, you think it's so American

Man, oh man, yeah, you're so American

Man, oh man, you think it's so American

Man, oh man, yeah, you're so American

[Outro]

There's two eyes for every one of us

But somebody got there first an' took them all

There's two eyes for every one of us

But somebody got there first an' took them all
