Fiction Plane - American Standard lyrics

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
