Chuck Prophet - American Man lyrics

American Man Up on the mound With the Orange Alert And the New Wave sounds American Man In the laundry pile With the rain-check claims And the skateboard child Like a shadow in the darkness In a plot full of holes I'm a hometown guy And a foreign spy Back on the street Up for parole Torn like a page From the book of the damned I'm your American man American Man Three times your size With blood on my lips and Milk in my eyes American Man With a gun in his brain On a blood-stained sheet In the Macy's parade Like a king with a kingdom In a room without a view We're gonna bang a gong Let's get it on But you're dry as a bone And I'm all over you Folded like a page From the book of the damned I'm your American Man American Man American Man In the Georgetown Bars With the Prozac kids And the Oliver Stones And the tabloid smiles
