American Me Lyrics by Exposition

Take a Penny Leave a Penny

2007

[Intro]
Yeah
(Sound the alarm)
Oh say can you see?
(Check ignition)
This is American Me
(Three-Two-One-Blast off)

[Verse 1]
Where there's a dashboard Jesus
I bet you see
'Support Our Troops' Magnet
Stuck to the SUV
But when they perish the petroleum
You got it see
You drive around a
Gas guzzling hyprocrisy
Sponsored by this oil barron
Theocracy
Trying to pass it's self
Off as a Democracy
But they cut it up
And glued it back sloppily
And when I point it out
He don't want to talk to me!
He just go out the TV
And say it's all about the morals
In 2006 yo it's all about the Euros
It's all about the dollars
It makes me want to holler
In a land where a fool
Makes a peasant of a scholar
No futurе for me here
I got to find a nеw place
Practice my accent
And move to the UK
But then again who's to say
It's any different over there?
When the world is dominated
By mongers of fear

[Hook]
I'm so American
I think I have all the answers
I'm so American
That I would sell you cancer
I'm so American
That I would sell you the cure for cancer
After I sold you cancer
I'm so American!
I have all your answers
I'm so American
Bitch I would sell you cancer
I'm so American
Sure I could sell you the cure for cancer
But only after I sold you cancer


[Verse 2]
A college graduate
Business major
Somebody owes her Daddy
A big big favor
So they
Give her a job in
A tall high rise
She feels successful
Sitting in the skyline
9-5 in the cubicle cell
High heels, work suit
Flag on the lapel
Yo, she grows accustomed
To the the awkward jargon
As American as apple pie
Charts and profit margins
After work, she's chilling
At the social club
Where national suits
Get a lot of local love
With bank accounts
And cauldron homes
But she's up to her eyebrows
In college loans
Now she wants to
Get a little status of her own
But most of all
She wants to show her
Daddy that she's grown
So she goes out and leases
A brand new Beemer
But she can't afford
Gasolin-Ah!

[Hook]
I'm so American
I re-tell history told
I'm so American
I'm worth more than
My weight in gold
I'm so American
Yeah from high up
On my throne
I decide who's illegal
On land that I stole
I'm so American
I re-tell history told
I'm so American
I'm worth more than
My weight in gold
I'm so American
I'm so goddamn bold
I tell your mother
She's illegal
Then pay her to clean my home

[Verse 3]
Man acquires pills
So he can get his dick up
But those pills
Make his heart rate quicker
So now he needs
Heart rate medication
But that medication
Gives him constipation
So now he needs
Something to help him
Get his shit out
He asks the doctor
He said 'No get out'
Doc has no problem
Filling the prescriptions
Because pharmaceutical
Companies give him a commission
Off every single pill
He give to the man
So he doses him
With as much dope as he can
He said: 'Kind sir
Let me ask you a question
Have you ever had a problem
Dealing with depression?'
The man says "Of course
Yo I can't shit or fuck
And my heart don't work
It's like I'm shit out of luck'
"Well I got a lot of patients
With the same exact problem
They take these pills
And normally it solves him'
"Hey you're the doctor -
I guess I'll try it"
And now he feasts daily
On a 20 pill diet
End of the month
Insurance sends him his bill
He adds it up and down
And his pride feels ill
He pulls out his checkbook
And feels like a dummy see
All four pills
Are made by the same company

[Hook]

[Outro]
