The New American Way — текст песни (dropkick murphys)

"The punishment no longer fits the crime"

Each day when I wake up and I set my best foot forward
I`ll make an effort to be all that I can be.
I take a look around me and I wonder how things change so much in the few short years since I was a young boy.

Do you know what we`re fighting for?
I know in an instant I could lose everything I`m working toward.

Chorus:
I know I`ll win my battles
though I fear we`ll lose the war to the new American way.

The morals of this nation`s youth have long gone astray lead by tolerance, indifference,
and this kinder gentler way that has corrupted and destroyed so many of our boys and girls
oh Lord I start to wonder will it ever come around?
