Golden American Songtext

von Jerry Joseph

I can't make change for your pink twenties
Well the buck stops here, baby that's what you said
I hold you tight and I can feel you coming
Yeah, the cage is spinning but the hamster's dead

Cause you're looking better all the time
With an empty grin and an empty mind
I'm ok, hey, with everything you say

I fly in circles and I flap my arms
Like the rest of the pigeons in the Notre Dame
Hold my fire lest I get it wrong
Till somebody tells me what side I'm on

But you're looking smarter all the time
Medicine for my angry mind
I'm ok, hey, with everything you say

Are you my golden American
I'll??? what state you're in
Yeah who you sleep with or call as friend
You're my golden American

And I'm ok, hey, with everything you say
And I'm ok, hey, you raise your flag that way
And I'm ok, hey, you waive your pride that way
And I'm ok, hey, you shake your ass that way, baby

Slit me open like a melon rind
Yeah, you scrape me clean, make your home inside
All my pride I shall abdicate
I shall wash the kitty, baby, I'll lick the plates

But I like you better when you're in control
Baby eat my body, baby eat my soul

And I'm ok, hey, with everything you say
Are you my golden American
Your vacancy sign still reels me in
Low maintenance is how I choose my friends
You're my golden American

Are you my golden American
My television, my let's pretend
My good guys gets the girls in the end
You're my golden Amer, you're my golden Amer
You're my golden American
