Song: Real American

I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

When it comes crashing down, and it hurts inside,
ya' gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide,
Well, you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

I feel strong about right and wrong,
And I don't take trouble for very long,
I got something deep inside of me, and courage is the thing that keeps us free,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

Well you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide,
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

no at all, i was just mildly annoyed by this attribution so i played the same game :) the beatles recorded that song, not the quarrymen (the band that eventually morphed - pupated? - into the beatles). saying it was the quarrymen struck me as being kinda show-off, but i probably misunderstood your intention.

And the sunny Carribean sea.

It's on of those songs that makes your teeth curl, but whenever you hear it you can't help yourself, you have to sing along
