Lyrics Wishbone Ash

Wishbone Ash

American Century

Looking out on a New England town

Thinking on what brought the British down

Thirteen colonies were overrun

Power turning on a book and a gun

Hear the call to arms

(There´s a rising up)

End of silence

(The time has come)

Bringing harm to bear their licence

End of tyranny

(Take a stand)

Open sympathy

(And they will join with you)

Challenging their reign with violence

Power resting in the hands of a few

Paranoia once again, it´s true

Shadows fall across this broken land

Disillusion people understand

Hear the call to arms

(There´s a rising up)

End of silence

(The time has come)

Bringing harm to bear their licence

End of tyranny

(Take a stand)

Open sympathy

(And they will join with you)

Challenging their reign with violence
