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