So they did...
Dear worthless, gutless cowards, you say I must convert or die.
Well, I guess you're gonna have to kill me
at least you're gonna have to try.
Does Lexington and Concord mean anything to you?
How about Bunker Hill, San Juan Hill
Or the Island Peleliu?
You’re not the first who’s ever tried to kill me
What makes you think I would turn and run?
You underestimate these United States
And the righteous might of people standing as one
We exist to fan the flame of freedom
We’ve fought and bled and died- we overcome
Hey I wanna live in peace, but you come after my family
You’ll be staring down the barrel of my gun
An American... with a Remington
Now that rifle helped put food on our table
When my daddy came home from Viet Nam disabled
And like him I answered the call
And I was ready to give my all
In the mountains of Afghanistan
You’re not the first who’d ever want to kill me
What makes you think I would turn and run
(I won’t turn and run)
You underestimate these United States
And the righteous might of people standing as one
We exist to fan the flame of freedom
We’ve fought and bled and died, we’ve overcome
I wanna live in peace, but you come after my family
You’ll be staring down the barrel of my gun
An American with a Remington
An American with a Remington
Yours truly...
An American with a Remington
