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!
