Song title: Alkaline Trio - The American Scream (acoustic)

Edit By: 216.73.216.40

They tied that yellow ribbon 'round the oak tree
And theyâ€™ve worn out all the prayer in their hearts
All along thought they were rooting for the home team
As theyâ€™re sent into the game and torn apart

We twist this tourniquet upon the pipeline
That carries all the pain in the world
As we blindly clap and cheer from the sidelines, itâ€™s clear
On a losing streak from the very start

And thatâ€™s where they found me,
In the cemetery
A smoking gun in my hand,
Now Iâ€™m damned for the land of the free
Sing with me
The American Scream

They took that faded ribbon off the old tree
Theyâ€™ve worn out all the hope in their hearts
All along thought I was doing the right thing
Now Iâ€™m lying in a pool of my blood

And thatâ€™s where she found me,
In the cemetery
A smoking gun in my hand,
Now Iâ€™m damned for the land of the free
Sing with me

And thatâ€™s where she found me,
In the cemetery
A smoking gun in my hand,
Now Iâ€™m damned for the land of the free
Sing with me
The American Scream

The American Scream

And thatâ€™s where she found me,
In the cemetery
A smoking gun in my hand,
Now Iâ€™m damned for the land of the free
Sing with me
The American Scream
