American Love Affair Lyrics by Tonio K

Life in the Foodchain

0

[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
