"The punishment no longer fits the crime"

Each day when I wake up and I set my best foot forward I'll make an effort to be all that I can be. I take a look around me and I wonder how things change so much in the few short years since I was a young boy.

Do you know what we're fighting for? I know in an instant I could lose everything I'm working toward.

Chorus:
I know I'll win my battles though I fear we'll lose the war to the new American way.
