Am I wasting my time
Sitting here on the sidelines
When the American standard is so high
I won't try
I always thought of you as a better kind of me
How wrong could I have been
To covet is a shame
We will never be the same
But nothing is for free
With the money on your mind
I will never pay you back a dime
Am I an arrogant beggar who tells lies
Well curse my pride
I always thought of you as a better kind of me
To covet is a shame
We will never be the same
But nothing is for free
The American standard is so high
The American standard is so high
The American standard is so high
