American Idle Songtext
von Much the Same

As the tears well up in my eyes
Something in me tore me up inside
Misled, deceived, we all turned our backs on those
We should respect and feel like home
This is not a game that anyone should play
Blood spills on the ground and all our hands are dripping now

I can′t wipe the clean
I somehow feel responsible
In a time of disarray
I'm alone but the feeling will fade away
But to my dismay
I still feel responsible
Didn′t take my duties seriously
And now the feeling won't go away
It won't go away


Every sign that the team will be alright
Is no better than the other guy
Shame on me
The apathetic American they want me to be
I′m a bad cliché that so many of us portray
Blood spills on the ground and all our hands are dripping now

I can′t wipe the clean
I somehow feel responsible
In a time of disarray
I'm alone but the feeling will fade away
But to my dismay
I still feel responsible
Didn′t take my duties seriously
And now the feeling won't go away
It won′t go away

I won't make the same mistakes again
I′ve learned to speak my mind
I'm never going down without a fight

I can't wipe the clean
I somehow feel responsible
In a time of disarray
I′m alone but the feeling will fade away
But to my dismay


I still feel responsible
Didn′t take my duties seriously
And now the feeling won't go away

No, the feeling won′t go away
No, the feeling won't go away
It won′t go away
