lyrics

There is nothing left to say

The cut and run of real estate

Every time I carve out space

Folding verse for you to take

When you’re looking for answers

Tell me what does it matter

If you got there on your own

With a pile of sticks and stones

Look what we built

It’s a house on a hill

Of cheap refrain

Rented a room

Now it’s going up in flames

Look what you did

I got nothing left to give

You know what they say

It’s the American Way

Nothing is as nothing seems

If you find the grace between

How it sounds and what you mean

Write and tell me how it reads

When you’re looking for answers

Tell me what does it matter

If you did it all alone

Ripping off a pile of bones

Look what we built

It’s a house on a hill

Of cheap refrain

Rented a room

Now it’s going up in flames

Look what you did

I got nothing left to give

You know what they say

It’s the American Way

It’s the American Way

It’s the American Way
