How are you feeling?
My love, i am wanting
And wishing and hoping
That the whole world could agree on something
Raised as children
To live for our dreams
But now surrounding us
Is an ever revealing political scheme
Wanna tear down these borders
Or put up some walls?
In a nation divided
Will we stand, or will we fall?
American spirit blues
What about you?
American spirit blues, blues..yeah yeah yeah
I can feel my blood, it's pumping too
I feel my veins popping and my heart is breakin' in two
What about you, my baby?
What about me?
You got these educated answers
And such astounding advice
But 9 outta my 10 friends
They're all strapped to their devices
I look into their eyes to understand why
We're all so addicted and lonely and wasted
I had a best friend and now he's dead
You did too, you did too
Yeah yeah yeah
You did too, you did too
I feel my heart it's breakin in two
American spirit blues, yeah yeah yeah yeah
America, what are you gonna do?
Do you feel you're heart breakin
And your blood pumpin too?
Oh, I'm drowning
What about you?
I read about the violence
And all the souls kept in silence
And everyone I meet
Holds their own lock and key
I climbed some mountains
I even swam in the seas
But everyone I meet there
They've just gotta be free
American spirit blues
What about you?
American spirit blues, blues, yeah yeah yeah
I can feel the blood it's pumping too
What about the blues?
Yeah what about the blues?
What about me, what about you?
American spirit blues
I just wanted to tell you
I just wanted to tell you
