	Story Behind the Song This song was written after the 9/11 attacks, when the Shaw Brothers found out that their friend Margaret Echtermann had been killed in the Twin Towers. The lyrics came to Nat Shaw in about three hours, and the music was written in about two days by Jeremy Shaw. Nat and his wife Liza, and Jeremy performed and recorded the song over a period of four months. Lyrics "American Soul" Copyright 2002 Shaw Brothers Who are you to say That you'll take our lives away That you'll bring our buildings down Fly our planes into the ground What got into your head Because of you our friends are dead You're certainly misguided Because our nation's not divided Chorus: We've got rock and roll in our soul Jazz in our bones Gospel in our heart You can't take us apart We've got bluegrass in our blood Country in our minds R&B in our head The American Soul Will never be dead What was on your mind When you changed our sky line When you took the good Lord's name And you used it in vain Who do you think you are You have left such a scar But it won't last any longer What doesn't kill us makes us stronger Repeat Chorus What do you think we'll say Now that you've thrown your life away You have done your cowardly act And you're never coming back The real heroes are the ones That you killed with megatons We won't forget their faces They'll be missed in many places Repeat Chorus
