Telling me the thoughts I need to think Manipulating my mind
Acting like the shepherd of a poor lost sheep Pushing me to follow by
You say you've got all the answers To the problems in the world today
So why not let you take control And everything will be okay
No it won't
I'm so tired of abiding Under castle culture rule
With other people deciding What I say and what I do
The good Lord gave me a mind of my own I will bow to him and to him alone
And when the anthem plays I'll be standing For this nation I will pray
I'm gonna cast my vote for whoever I want Living life the American way
Teaching my children it's okay to lie While you're keeping me in the dark
If they got a problem I'll be their guide Loving them with all my heart
Thankful for my friends and family Every life and liberty
For those who gave all they had to give To keep this country free
I'm so tired of abiding Under castle culture rule
With other people deciding What I say and what I do
The good Lord gave me a mind of my own I will bow to him and to him alone
And when the anthem plays I'll be standing For this nation I will pray
I'm gonna cast my vote for whoever I want Living life the American way
You better listen we the people Cause we've got something to say
We will stand and fight for our God given right To live our lives the American way
I'm so tired of abiding Under castle culture rule
With other people deciding What I say and what I do
The good Lord gave me a mind of my own I will bow to him and to him alone
And when the anthem plays I'll be standing For this nation I will pray
I'm gonna cast my vote for whoever I want Living life the American way
Living life the American way
