  • 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

    When it comes crashing down and it hurts inside
    You gotta take a stand it don't help to hide
    If you hurt my friends, then 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 feel strong about right and wrong
    And I don't take trouble for very long
    I've got something deep inside of me
    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

    If you hurt my friends, then 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
    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
