American Man
Up on the mound
With the Orange Alert
And the New Wave soundsAmerican Man
In the laundry pile
With the rain-check claims
And the skateboard childLike 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 manAmerican Man
Three times your size
With blood on my lips and
Milk in my eyesAmerican Man
With a gun in his brain
On a blood-stained sheet
In the Macy's paradeLike 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 ManAmerican Man
American Man
In the Georgetown Bars
With the Prozac kids
And the Oliver Stones
And the tabloid smiles
