Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They tied that yell-ow ribb-on 'round the oak tree.
They've worn out all the prayer in their hearts.
All a-long thought they were root-ing for their home team,
as they're sent to the game and torn a-part.
[Verse 2]
We twist this tour-ni-quet up-on the pipe-line
that carr-ies all the pain in the world.
As we blind-ly clap and cheer from the side-lines, it's clear.
On the los-ing streak from the ver-y start.
[Chorus 1]
That's where they found me, in the cem-e-ter- y.
A smok-in' gun in my hand.
Now I'm damned for the Land of the Free.
Sing with me. The Am-er-i-can Scream!
[Verse 3]
They took that fad-ed ribb-on off the oak tree.
They've worn out all the hope in their hearts.
All a-long thought I was do-ing the right thing,
now I'm ly-ing in a pool of my blood.
[Chorus 2]
That's where she found me, in the cem-e-ter- y.
A smok-in' gun in my hand.
Now I'm damned for the Land of the Free.
Sing with me.
[Chorus 3]
And that's where she found me, in the cem-e-ter- y.
A smok-in' gun in my hand.
Now I'm damned for the Land of the Free.
Sing with me. The Am-er-i-can Scream!
[Bridge]
The Am-er-i-can Scream!
[Chorus 4]
That's where she found me, in the cem-e-ter- y.
A smok-in' gun in my hand.
Now I'm damned for the Land of the Free.
Sing with me. The Am-er-i-can Scream!
