American Pie

[Verse 1]
I don't like antiques, I want something new
The world don't like no freaks coming in their rooms
But this beggar's got a right to choose
I'm not a stranger, I'm just like you

[Verse 2]
I need love, I don't need money
After all these years, baby, I'm still running
Who's gonna say my want is not a need?
I get looks that get so dirty
After all these years, baby, it's still hurting
Who's gonna say my want is not a need?

[Chorus]
Just want my piece of the American pie
Got your slice, where is mine?
Lick my fingers on this thing called life
Just a piece of the American pie
Break the chains of old beliefs
I'm the flame that you can't unsee

[Verse 3]
I don't like antiques, I want something new
I got my dignity, gonna live my truth
Like the Southern smile I just can't lose
Let my light sweep across the room

[Verse 4]
You may laugh but it's not funny
That's the thing that keeps me coming
Who's gonna say my want is not a need?
All those looks that get so dirty
Lets me know that they're still learning
Who's gonna say my want is not a need?

[Chorus]
Just want my piece of the American pie
You got your slice, where is mine?
Lick my fingers on this thing called life
Just a piece of the American pie
Break the chains of old beliefs
I'm the flame that you can't unsee

[Bridge]
Whoa
Where is my piece?

[Chorus]
Just want my piece of the American pie
You got your slice, where is mine?
Lick my fingers on this thing called life
Just a piece of the American pie
Break the chains of old beliefs
I'm the flame that you can't unsee

[Outro]
Whoa
Want it, want it, want it, yeah
I want my piece, you got your piece, I want my piece
Whoa
