Americans

Life is such a silly game

So much poverty, so much pain

A man with fortune and one with fame

A man with despair, a man with shame

A who rules and one to follow

A man with heart, a man who is shallow

A man with love and one with hate

A man who lives on destiny, a man with fate

A man who’s healthy and one with disease

A man who sweats, a man to freeze

They all live life to the most

We are all Americans, coast to coast
