• American Life In The Summertime

Johnny left home to seek his fame
Small town boy, the streets of L.A.
A daytime waiter, in a night time band
Acting cool, said he was a real man

Couldn't write a song, to save his soul
Ripped off an old tune, said it was his own
Low and behold, in another few days
Five star dinner that the company pays

Johnny got a motor, Johnny got a guitar
He got a room and a woman to pay
Johnny got a big part, playing in a video
Johnny on the freeway

Let's go drink till the beer runs dry
I said let's go drink till the beer runs dry
You know the girl you want is such a waste of time
American life in the summertime
American life in the summertime got me

Suzie got a rise at work today
She found the new sound - Johnny on the freeway
Virginity blown, the minimum age
Busy doing nothing, on another man's wages

Blond hair and mystic eyes
A bottle of pills and a little on the wild side
Saturday come and Saturday go
Hangin' out backstage, waiting for the show

Suzie got a motor, Suzie got a guitar
She got a room that the company pays
A company girl and a company slave
Suzie on the freeway

Let's go drink till the beer runs dry
I said let's go drink till the beer runs dry
You know the girl you want is such a waste of time
American life in the summertime
American life in the summertime got me

You know it breaks my heart to see
A nation cloned by someone else's poetry
They got their backs snapped by 12 inch pressure
Of financial bigotry

You know I've still got pride in who I wanna be
I don't wanna be like them, I just wanna be me
A record company clone, not me
I'm still singin'
Sing everything you guys
American life in the summertime

I said let's go drink till the beer runs dry
I said let's go drink till the beer runs dry
You know the girl you want is such a waste of time
Yeah, yeah, yeah
American life in the summertime...
