You know what you're doing to us
But you don't care
But you don't care
There was a time I was afraid
I was a Catholic kid
We're not afraid
Not anymore
We are American kids
I wanted to be proud of you
But you don't let me
You don't let me
I wanted to believe in you
But you don't let us
You let us
You let us down
(In the middle of the night)
There was a time I was afraid
I was a Catholic kid
(In the middle of the night
I call your name)
We're not afraid
Not anymore
We are American kids
(In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night)
(In the middle of the night)
There was a time I was afraid
I was a Catholic kid
(In the middle of the night
I call your name)
We're not afraid
Not anymore
We are American kids
(I wanted to be proud of you
But you don't let me
You don't let me)
There was a time I was afraid
I was a Catholic kid
(I wanted to believe in you
But you don't let us
You let us
You let us down)
We're not afraid
Not anymore
We are American kids
We're not afraid
Not anymore
We're not afraid
Not anymore
We're not afraid
Not anymore
We are American kids
