There’s a strip mall round the 
corner, lease signs in every window.

gonna lie.
        Bb      Dm              C
Aren’t we all on the same side?

            Bb
There’s no us and there’s no them. 
We’re all out there on a limb.
            Dm
There’s no Kings and there’s no 
Queens
        C
Just a pot of melted dreams

What makes us so quick to fight?
        Am
No one wants to compromise
    Gm                  Am  
Sometimes it’s all so hard to 
            Bb
understand.
         Dm   Bb
Aren’t we    all American?
