about
The American Way presents as 3 manic minuets of mayhem giving a brief insight into the development and corporate mismanagement on a domestic and global level of this peace loving, aggressive, warrior, garrison nation state collective.
From the initial declaration that all men are born equal in dignity and rights which incidentally preceded the massacre and dispossession of land from the indigenous native American inhabitants; through the many trials and tribulations that bring us up to the present-day community that promotes material possession driven by consumption as the driving force on which the whole culture relies.
We look at what happens and where are we heading when the needs, wants and expectations of the population exceeds the capacity of the community to provide them.
The USA provides the metaphor for the self-evident, self-destructive contradictions built into the out-of-control machine that is human development. Where will the narrative take us as our destiny unfolds.
lyrics
American Way
Home of the brave and the land of the free
We got 36 million living in poverty
Work three jobs just to make ends meet
We got the national guard so don’t riot on the street.
Build a little wall down Mexico way
& if you make it to America, life the American way……..
Sometime we start a war if we feel you’re a threat
Take it out in Vegas on credit card debt
Uncle Sam throw a party on 4th of july.
Got my arteries clogged on fast food and French fries
Life in America, everybody pay
Life in America, life the American way……..
Guitar solo
We listen to the president we follow what he say
East coast west coast we love the USA
American dream everybody understand
We got he right buy a gun we got the right to go Disneyland
Life in America everybody pay
Die for America life the American way
You danced for freedom and you never got paid
Hot in the city & you gonna get laid
And I can see by the dawn early light
Loosen up bro you a little uptight
The American way life the American way
