| He was a small-town southern boy born and bred |
| A credit to his hardworking mother and dad |
| A clutch of diplomas and a uniform |
| Served his country then he shipped back home |
| Hung out his shingle but it didn’t take |
| He had real big dreams that he could not shake |
| Left that town with his hand on his heart |
| Ready for his oath and his life to start |
| Ah, he just can’t lose |
| He’s all over the news |
| Battin' sweet baby blues |
| It’s the American way |
| To hell with the truth |
| He’s suckin' up to the dude |
| He’s an American stooge |
| And maybe he likes it that way |
| Once he stood at a fork in the road |
| Scratchin' his head which way to go |
| Power on his left, conscience on his right |
| A soul in the balance in a knockdown fight |
| When he’s not kissin' the ring and levelin' threats |
| He’s proud to be your favorite hypocrite |
| Polishin' sound bites for the folks at home |
| A moth to a flame and a microphone |
| I just can’t lose |
| I’m all over the news |
| Battin' my sweet baby blues |
| It’s the American way |
| To hell with the truth |
| I’m suckin' up to the dude |
| I’m an American stooge |
| And baby I like it that way |
| We all fall down |
| We all fall down |
| Ah, I just can’t lose |
| And to hell with the truth |
| I’m an American stooge |
| And I like it that way |
| I’m starting to ooze |
| From my head to my shoes |
| I’m an American stooge |
| Don’t care if there’s hell to pay |
| I just can’t lose |
| I’m all over the news |
| Battin' my sweet baby blues |
| It’s the American way |
| To hell with the truth |
| I’m suckin' up to the dude |
| I’m an American stooge |
| And baby I like it that way |
| I like it that way |
| I like it that way |
| I like it that way |
| (A very stable genius) |
