American Scam Lyrics by Tommy Newport

Liquid - EP

2021

[Verse 1]
You missed the train in the morning
The rain it was pouring
Got you fired from
Your dead-end job
There was cocaine on the awning
Mistakes are now all dawning
You're a liar to pretend it was God

[Chorus]
American scam
A hand for a hand
Don't sink in the sand
I you think you can stand
American scam
Oh, isn't it grand?
Your heart in your hands
With no real plan

[Verse 2]
What do you gain from all these warnings?
A false sense of endorsing
You got tired of being a fraud
Must you explain what you've been learning
These tables keep on turning
There's fire that you didn't start

[Chorus]
American scam
A hand for a hand
Don't sink in the sand
I you think you can stand
American scam
Oh, isn't it grand?
Your heart in your hands
With no real plan
