Testo American Standard - Jordan Zevon
Testo della canzone American Standard (Jordan Zevon), tratta dall'album Insides Out
Mom and Dad cashed 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 bruise
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
It's an American standard
The futon's full of a couple fools
As I'm staring at the caps in the ceiling
Molly'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 my name
So I can't be held to blame
I'm living by 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
It's an American standard
They say these are the days you'll never forget
But every evening is another flood that ends in porcelain
And the vow, "I'll never do it again"
(I'll never do it again)
I'm surrounded by a gaggle of friends
And all the while as I'm gagging, I'm wondering, "Why me?"
Then I start it all over again
(And again and 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
It's an American standard
It's an American standard
It's an American standard
I'm only here to fill my parents' ambitions
So near, so far, it's a well's worth of wishin'
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 a 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 discreetly
Just tell me where to go and I'll get in line
Tell me where to go and I'll get in line
Tell me where to go and I'll get in line
