American Life In The Summertime Songtext

Johnny Left Home To Seek His Fame Small Town Boy, The Streets of LA A Daytime 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 Lo, and behold in another few days Five Star Dinner that the company pays Johnny got a guitar Johnny got a motor Johnny got a room and a woman to pay Johnny got a 'bit' part playing in a video Johnny on the freeway Let's Go Drink till the beer runs dry American Life in the Summertime You know the girl you want is such a waste of time American Life in the Summertime Suzie got a rise at work today She found the new sound Johnny on the Freeway Virginity Blown the minimum age Busy doing nothing on another mans wages Blonde Hair and Mystic Eyes A Bottle of pills and a little on the wild side Saturday come, Saturday Go Hanging out backstage waiting for the show Suzie got a motor Suzie got a guitar Suzie got a room that the company pays A company girl and company slave Suzie on the Freeway Let's Go Drink till the beer runs dry American Life in the Summertime You know the girl you want is such a waste of time American Life in the Summertime 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 comany clone? Not me! Sing Everything you got Cause American Life in the Summertime aint for me Let's go drink till the beer runs dry
