francis dunnery - american life lyrics

Loading...

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
sat-rday come, and sat-rday 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
