When it comes crashing down, and it hurts inside  Ya' gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide    If you hurt my friends, can 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    Well I'm feeling strong about right and wrong (Ooo yeah)  And I don't take trouble for very long.  I got somethin' 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, can 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
