I'll **** For The Painted American Woman

Painted American woman stands strong

on every corner weeks after

bombs landed on Pearl Harbor

How can I hold her in my arms

if the ground beneath us is trembling?

 

This proud country is filled with oppression

misunderstandings, injustice, and hate

But isn't their still love?

The blue on our flag reminds me

of her lovely eyes, and the red is the blood

I would spill for her fair skin. Isn't this love?

 

I will fight for the painted American woman

I see her everyday on my lonely walks

with her long hair wrapped up,

staring into the clouds of the sky

praying that every bullet that

is fired towards me will perish and fade away

 

I'll fight and **** so I can sit next to her,

Share wine with her, share everything with her

I **** to hold her hand in a free american world

while this country is unfair, I'll die for

her and a new tomorrow.
