[Verse]
    A
Now each day when I wake up and
  F#7
I set my best foot forward,
             D
I'll make an effort to
   E              A
be all that I can be.
      A
And I take a look around me
      F#7
and I wonder
how things change so much,
       D
in the few short years
      E             A
since I was a young boy.
LET'S GO!

[Chorus]
B F#
     Do you know what
                   B F#
we're fighting for?
                             B
I know in an instant I could lose
                              F#
everything I'm working toward.
  D                E
I know I'll win my battles,
         A
though I fear we'll lose the war
       D     E      A
to the new American way.
  D                E
I know I'll win my battles,
         A
though I fear we'll lose the war
       D     E      A
to the new American way.

[Verse 2]
    A
The morals of this nation's
           F#7
youth have long gone astray.
       D             E
Led by tolerance, indifference,
        A
in this kinder, gentler way.
            A
That has corrupted and destroyed,
        F#7
so many of our boys and girls.
   D               E
Oh lord I start to wonder,
        A
will it ever come around?
LET'S GO!

we're fighting for?
                             B
I know in an instant I could lose
                              F#
everything I'm working toward.
  D                E
I know I'll win my battles,

to the new American way.
