Notes
So American (Portugal. The Man) If pain was a color to paint on you Your heart would be the color blue Be a gradient from there Until your body met your hair Which remained a silver You are the one they call Jesus Christ Who didn't know no rock n' roll Just a mission, and a gun to paint rainbows in Vietnam And a heart that always told you There's madness in us all There's madness in us all So, who wrote the rules? Who wrote the rules, who wrote the rules? They said, every one of you will never try to lend a hand When the police men don't understand Boys, all you boys, you think it's so America [From Justin A. Brummer notes from RYM]
