Side A, Track 2: American Blood

"American Blood"

[AMERICAN WOLVES: Jack Hectør Wolf • Michaela Maya Watson]

Hey, I should be fighting with you

But right now I'm fighting against you

Why are we doing that? Why are we doing that?

I've got American blood just like you, this is unfair

Hey, man, people call me Jack Wolf for a reason

It's because I put a finger on every single issue of my nation

But now I'm talking to you, the one who lives miles from me

You call yourself "American", but that's not how things should be

I'm here, in Brazil, also a country part of the continent America

Shakira from Colombia, also a country part of the continent America

JLo from Puerto Rico, also a country part of the continent America

But only you can be called American, isn't it what you say?

Who made you the little queen of the west side of the world?

Who thought you could come and be our motherfucking savior?

Who gave you the right of taking actions in the name of us all?

Who said you could make us ache and hurt every day like nothing at all?

You know, I got, I got, I got a better blood than yours in the moment

And I could even make peace with you if I get you alone

But all you wanna do is make "America" great again

So I guess you're also planning to erase us from the earth's existence

American beauty gone American psycho

Before rain stops, a last lightning strikes

I wouldn't have passed the borderline if I knew

Now I triggered a domino effect

Don't make me think that I brought this on myself

Holding a gun without bullets to shoot

Only to see that we have the same American blood

You know, I was a fool when I let you in my feelings

Look at me now, I'm living in a corrupted culture

My representants don't give a fuck if I need something basic to live

Panem et circenses, that's the order, what they think that I need

Garbage on the streets, but they only show the better part to tourists

Tell me what you do when you wanna make something look beautiful

Many of my blood fellas try to build a better life in your city limits

But all you think about is to build fences and stop them from living

Some women try to make life better for themselves on their routines

But all you think about is to "grab them by the p*ssy"

So, I guess that if I try to get married with the man that I love

It means you'll do everything to make me doubt of my thoughts?

So what would you do if I call to all the American rejects that you know?

Will you throw us away in trash containers and put us in a boat?

Don't expect us to leave you alone with one or two blackmails

You just betrayed your blood brothers when you ignored us

American beauty gone American psycho

Before rain stops, a last lightning strikes

I wouldn't have passed the borderline if I knew

Now I triggered a domino effect

Don't make me think that I brought this on myself

Holding a gun without bullets to shoot

Only to see that we have the same American blood

I swear, I didn't want to bring this up

But this thing seems to be coming out of control

We need to sit and talk it through, but you don't want to

Did you think it will be okay, if you just walk away?

What about all the plans and bridges we made?

I have this urge to fix things, but I don't wanna see the damage inside you

American beauty gone American psycho

Before rain stops, a last lightning strikes

I wouldn't have passed the borderline if I knew

Now I triggered a domino effect

Don't make me think that I brought this on myself

Holding a gun without bullets to shoot

Only to see that we have the same American blood

Uh, welcome to the American woods

The ground where you're staying never saw the American dream

Uh, welcome to the American woods

And we are like wolves ready to stab you to death, baby

Uh, welcome to the American woods

Our blood can be seen in every tree

Uh, welcome to the American woods

Be our new friend and we'll set you free

Do you really want to kill us at this point?

This is our final warning about it

See, I never lied to you about my intentions in your town

Do you really want to kill your own blood, boy?

Alright, alright, I'll let God judge you for this crime

Alright, alright, I'll let God judge you for this crime

[Michaela's voice] "Come to the woods, darling. Come to the woods."
