American Love Affair

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Jacob comes from Memphis Lord, he's a self-made man, owned half of Tennessee And now he's sold off all his old friends And bought up the past and paid down on you and me Yes and New York may be the new world But she's still a filthy concrete bitch without a soul But it don't matter 'cause Jacob You know he wants her Because he's climbed so high there's nowhere left to go [Chorus] It's an American love affair It's an American dream Somebody said that it's everywhere Nobody's sure what it means But if you wake with your mind on fire Too frightened even to scream It's just an American love affair Just an American dream [Verse 2] Sweet Rebecca she's a go-getter Lord, she'll tell you that she loves you for a price And she should know better But no one's let her take the time to think at all Much less think twice And now all the glitter And all the human litter That surround her seem as normal as the sky And in the morning If you buy her diamonds She will always try to guess how much but never why [Chorus] It's an American love affair It's an American dream Somebody said that it's everywhere Nobody's sure what it means But if you wake with your mind on fire Too frightened even to scream It's just an American love affair Just an American dream [Outro] It's an American love affair It's an American dream It's an American love affair It's an American dream It's an American love affair It's an American dream It's an American underwear It's in a washing machine
