American Life |
Johnny left home, to seek his fame |
Small town boy, the streets of L.A. |
A day time waiter, in a night time band |
Acting cool, said he was a real man |
Couldn’t write a song, to save his soul |
Ripped off an old tune, said it was his own |
Low and behold, in another few days |
Five star dinner, that the company pays |
Johnny got a motor, Johnny got a guitar |
He got a room and a woman to pay |
Johnny got a big part, playing in a video |
Johnny on the freeway |
I said, let’s go drink till the beer runs dry |
I said, let’s go drink till the beer runs dry |
You know the girl you want is such a waste of time |
American life in the summertime |
American life in the summertime got me |
Suzie got a rise, at work today |
She found the new sound, yeah |
Virginity blown, the minimum age |
Busy doing nothing, on another man’s wages |
Blond hair, and mystic eyes |
A bottle of pills, and a little on the wild side |
Saturday come, and Saturday go |
Hangin' out backstage, waiting for the show |
Suzie got a motor, Suzie got a guitar |
She got a room, that the company pays |
A company girl, and company slave |
Suzie on the freeway |
I said, let’s go drink till the beer runs dry |
I said, let’s go drink till the beer runs dry |
You know the girl you want is such a waste of time |
American life in the summertime |
American life in the summertime got me |
You know it breaks my heart to see a nation cloned |
By someone else’s poetry |
They got their backs snapped |
By 12 inch pressure of financial bigotry |
You know I’ve still got pride in who I wanna be |
I don’t wanna be like them, I just wanna be me |
A record company clone, not me |
I’m still singin' |
Sing everything you got |
American life in the summertime |
I said, let’s go drink till the beer runs dry |
I said, let’s go drink till the beer runs dry |
You know the girl you want is such a waste of time |
Yeah, yeah, yeah |
American life in the summertime |
American life in the summertime got me |
