American Boy

You came down like the news to the valley An American boy dressed in corduroy Oh they used to throw parades for the holidays But it's different nowadays When there's nothing worth that stays But life is not about loving anybody else At first you lose control and then you lose yourself This life is not about loving honey At first you lose control then you lose your money Oh you think so much and live so little Got your hope stitched on your sleeve But you're the one that deceives Turning pain into a perfect product Modernism is a dream we've been living in between But life is not about loving anybody else At first you lose control and then you lose yourself This life is not about loving honey At first you lose control then you lose your money Oh what can you do When your mind is a palace but your heart is a menace Oh what can you do Gonna burn it on a stake to destroy is to create Oh what can you do When your mind is a palace but your heart is a menace Oh what can you do There is nothing to debate to destroy is to create
