Jordan Zevon - American Standard lyrics
Your rating:
Mom and Dad crashed the 401k Just to get me where I am today Knee deep in debauchery Waiting in line at the keg Get a degree Pop a few cherries Get a tattoo of some Greek symbology This is what I do To serve the truth For the red, white, and brew It's an American Standard It's an American Standard That I will pass out every night Piss myself and pick a fight I wish I won't I know I might It's an American Standard The futon's full of a couple fools As I'm staring at the cops in the ceiling Marley's on the wall and I'm coming down As I'm dreading the road that's in front of me The chick from last night Won't remember by name So I can't be held to blame I'm living in the plan I'm a knee jerk man Doing all I can It's an American Standard It's an American Standard That I will pass out every night Piss myself and pick a fight It can't be wrong It feels too right It's an American Standard They say these days you'll never forget But every evening is another blur that ends in porcelain And the vow I'll never od it again I'm surrounded by a gaggle of friends And all the while as I'm gogging I'm wondering why me Then I start it all over again It's an American Standard It's an American Standard That I will pass out every night Piss myself and pick a fight It can't be wrong It feels too right It's an American Standard I'm only here to fill my parent's ambitions So near, so far It's a well's worth of wishing I'm dishing out the dirt until it's piled six feet above me Just tell me where to go and I'll get in line I just want a little slice of the pie A perfect life and perfect wife to serve me Completely Just tell me where to go and I'll get in line I just want a little slice of the pie A perfect life and a girl on the side to serve me Discretely Just tell me where to go and I'll get in line Just tell me where to go and I'll get in line
