Description
Urban patriotic sound, Justin Timberlake-like... Celebrates the struggles that American Boys encounter growing up in our society-but balanced by their need to be strong, responsible, protectors of that society. Can argue that this song is about social struggle - or about patriotism for our troops!

Lyrics
AMERICAN BOYS
You tell me Be the future, solid and sure How to know right from wrong Be the things that you never were When to be off and on Be a man when I don’t know how Fight what the world allows My generation’s reputation On my shoulders right now
Tell me why Freedom comes from giving up my own And my sex means I am all alone Lover, fighter – Who am I today Not what you say
All the feelings you would have us hide We can smile when crying deep inside Let me tell ya who will run this show This is what I know We’re American boys We’re American boys And we’re here to take a stand And all American boys Make their American noise But we still can lend a hand And our American way Is the one that we say It’s our lives and we won’t hide And yeah we’re telling you here Our dreams are nothin’ to fear For the boys who fight with pride
You tell me Get a job, you’re not playing cool What are you tryin’ to say Get a clue, or you’ll be a fool I don’t know what you say I’m not gettin’ what you believe It’s not my vision, so This is nothin’, nothin’ I need Cuz it’s my life you know
We’re sexy I’m a fire waitin’ to ignite I’m the blaze that’s burning up the night I’m the vision of a million dreams Tell ya what it means
We’re the glory destined from our birth We’re the future, heaven here on earth We’re the road where all of yours will lead The legacy you’ll leave We’re American boys We’re American boys And we’re here to take a stand And all American boys Make their American noise But we still can lend a hand And our American way Is the one that we say It’s our lives and we won’t hide And yeah we’re telling you here Our dreams are nothin’ to fear For the boys who fight with pride The life The life The life Of an American boy
Livin’ the life Livin’ the life Livin’ the life Cuz we’re American boys
No matter what you do – No matter what you say I’ve got a lot to prove – but I’ll protect you anyway And you can talk your trash – and you can stay or leave But I’m an American Boy, I’ll fight for what I believe
We’re American boys We’re American boys And we’re here to take a stand And all American boys Make their American noise But we still can lend a hand And our American way Is the one that we say It’s our lives and we won’t hide And yeah we’re telling you here Our dreams are nothin’ to fear For the boys who fight with pride
The life The life The life Of an American boy
Livin’ the life Livin’ the life Livin’ the life Cuz we’re American boys
The life The life The life Of an American boy
Livin’ the life Livin’ the life Livin’ the life Cuz we’re American boys
Don’t tell us what to do We’re American Boys Watch out we’re comin’ for you We’re American Boys
