American Man

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Green ties pull tight like nooses Handshake, I'm taking in Dreams die, in time, I'll lose it Farewell, my innocence [Pre-Chorus] My worth is measured in signs Next to numbers on the line These walls have ruined my eyes And there's no end of this in sight [Chorus] Is this all I dreamed of When I was young and fearless? Now my days slip by from nine to five And I, I can't do this No, I, I can't do this [Verse 2] Green eyes entice excuses Handshake, I'm caving in White lies divide, I choose this Farewell, my faithfulness [Pre-Chorus] I've been seduced by my greed And my mistress calling me My fingers scratch 'till they bleed And don't I deserve what makes me happy? [Chorus] Is this all I dreamed of When I was young and fearless? Now my days slip by from nine to five And I, I can't do this No, I, I can't do this [Bridge] I don't see how this could be worth living for No, I don't see, there has to be something more in this [Chorus] Is this all I dreamed of When I was young and fearless? Now my days slip by from nine to five And I, I can't do this No, I, I can't do this
