Another dead end jGob
In a dead end Cadd9life 
Its a dead end dGay 
To a dark niDght
And you work 'til you blGeed 
And I'll bleed till you Cadd9go 
And I'll bleed all dGay to sDing a sGong 
Can I catch your eGar 
Did I catch your sCoul
Do you have a reGason? 
Do you have a hDome? 
Do you know your riGghts? 
Do you know what you sCee?
Do you know your lGife? 
Do you know what to bDe?
Do you know my nGame? 
Cuz this minimum wCage 
Ain't enGough to fiDll this pGage. 
But I ain't working for yGou
I'm working for Cme 
I'm working for the peGople
That depend on Dme 
And I'm doing it for fGood 
For whatever I Cadd9can 
Your breaking the ruGles
You ain't breaking the mDan
For the tears that I've crGied
For my wasted Cadd9life 
And I'm tGired and waDsted tonGight 
(Played over harmonica)
G Cadd9 G D G Cadd9 D G Cadd9 G D G C G C G
American BGoy
American GCirl 
American pGloy
For an American woDrld
American lGife
American deCath
Its red and its whGite
With baDited brGeath
Cuz the factories are gGone
And the malls will go tCoo
But uncle SGam still wants yDou
For the red white and blGues
And the star studded stCrife 
For the wars we wGage
In the middle of the nDight
And the people who dGie 
In the name of a Cadd9lie
While the rich get riGcher 
And we're lDeft beGhind

Cadd9

Another dead end job

Cadd9

In a dead end life

Its a dead end day

To a dark night

And you work 'til you bleed

Cadd9

And I'll bleed till you go

G D G

And I'll bleed all day to sing a song

Can I catch your ear

Did I catch your soul

Do you have a reason?

Do you have a home?

Do you know your rights?

Do you know what you see?

Do you know your life?

Do you know what to be?

Do you know my name?

Cuz this minimum wage

G D G

Ain't enough to fill this page.

But I ain't working for you

I'm working for me

I'm working for the people

That depend on me

And I'm doing it for food

Cadd9

For whatever I can

Your breaking the rules

You ain't breaking the man

For the tears that I've cried

Cadd9

For my wasted life

G D G

And I'm tired and wasted tonight

(Played over harmonica)

G Cadd9 G D G Cadd9 D G Cadd9 G D G C G C G

American Boy

American Girl

American ploy

For an American world

American life

American death

Its red and its white

D G

With baited breath

Cuz the factories are gone

And the malls will go too

G D

But uncle Sam still wants you

For the red white and blues

And the star studded strife

For the wars we wage

In the middle of the night

And the people who die

Cadd9

In the name of a lie

While the rich get richer

D G

And we're left behind
