Amsterdam

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I come from a time that hasn't happened yet And I have been better but I can't quite remember when He works two jobs, gives half his pay to the government Now tell yourself that you're not killing yourself to live [Pre-Chorus] And that's the excuse For our drug abuse [Chorus] There was a time when America was my life And now it feels we are living a lie, living a lie From the time I wake 'til the time I sleep Everything is just too much for me [Verse 2] We take the pills to keep the nausea at bay And now, they take us and we feel worse than yesterday Throw a war against the wall, see if it sticks And if it doesn't, oh well, at least we're white and rich [Pre-Chorus] And that's the excuse For our drug abuse [Chorus] There was a time when America was my life And now, it feels we are living a lie, living a lie From the time I wake 'til the time I sleep Everything is just too much for me [Instrumental break] [Outro] Farewell, farewell, farewell, farewell, my sweet friends I have moved myself to, moved myself to Amsterdam, Amsterdam In detest of a futile war So cheers, my dears, from the other shore
