I love my country   I wouldn't wanna live anywhere else   But I'm not a politician or a gentry   So I've gotta look inside myself, he said      Goodbye, bye to my American pride   We had heart and great minds   But we've flung God from our side      He thought the world would come to peace   So he made his shelter in the shade   And from a distance watched this place   As a timeless war did rage   He said      Goodbye, bye to my American pride   We had heart and great minds   But we've flung God from our side      The lust for unfulfilling coin   Once controlled his power hungry life   It left no time for kids and wife   No, it wouldn't satisfy      Not a thing satisfies a searching mind      "Hey there, I heard about you, son   You're going through a rough time   You're not the only one.       Hey there, you're looking pretty glum   But don't you worry (don't you worry)   You're not the only one."      Goodbye, bye to my American life   'Cause I don't even know struggle or strife   But I've had one lowly life
