Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “The American Ruse” dari MC5:

[Verse 1]

          C                                                  F
They told you in school about freedom
                       C                                            F
But when you try to be free they never let ya
                        C                             F
They said "it's easy , nothing to it"
                      C                             F
And now the army's out to get ya

[Chorus]

F
Sixty nine America in terminal stasis
F
The air's so thick it's like drowning in molasses
C
I'm sick and tired of paying these dues
               G
And I'm finally getting hip to the American ruse

[Verse 2]

   C                                                          F
I learned to say the pledge of allegiance
                    C                                                    F
Before they beat me bloody down at the station
          C                                                    F
They haven't got a word out of me since
            C                                 F
I got a billion years probation

[Chorus]

F
Sixty nine America in terminal stasis
F
The air's so thick it's like drowning in molasses
       C
I'm sick and tired of paying these dues
G
And I'm sick to my guts of the American ruse

[Bridge]

A
Phony stars, oh no! crummy cars, oh no!
A                                                                  G
Cheap guitars, oh no! Joe's primitive bar... nah!
                               C
Rock'em back, Sonic!

[Solo]
