When it comes crashing down, and it hurts inside;
ya' gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide.
Well, you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride;
I gotta be a man--I can't let it slide

I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man;
I am a real American, fight for what's right--fight for your life!

I don't feel too strong about right and wrong; Yea
And I don't take trouble for very long. Yeahayea
I got somethin' deep inside of me and courage is the thing that keeps us free.

I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man;
I am a real American, fight for what's right--fight for your life!
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man;
I am a real American, fight for what's right--fight for your life!

Well you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride.
I gotta be a man--I can't let it slide!

I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man;
I am a real American, fight for what's right--fight for your life!
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man;
I am a real American, fight for what's right--fight for your life!
