Intro
If pain was a color to paint on you
Your heart would be the color blue.
Be a gradient from there till your body met your hair
Which would remain a silver hue
You are the one they call Jesus Christ.
Who didn't know no rock and roll.
Just a mission and a gun to paint rainbows in Vietnam
And a heart that always told you
There's a madness in us all.
There's a madness in us all.
So who broke the rules?
Who broke the rules?
Who broke the rules?
They said every one of you will never try to lend a hand
When the policemen don't understand.
Boys, all you boys
Think you're so American.
Girls, all you girls
Yeah you're so American.
He may not be born of this land
But he was born of this world.
He was born of all the mothers and the colors of our brothers
And the love that was taught to
you by the one they call Jesus Christ.
He may not know no rock and roll.
There may not be a heaven, or a place of which to send you,
But you know in the end
There's a madness in us all.
There's a madness in us all.

Girls, all you girls
Yeah you're so American.
There's two eyes for every one of us
But somebody got there first and took them all.
Man, oh man
You think it's so American
Man, oh man
Yeah you're so American
