Help Yourself Songtext
von American Minor

Just a country club broad
All-American mother
Hotel key in one hand
Cocktail in the other
A ′57 Packard
Hooker's bedroom suite
First-class roller coaster
Keeps her off the streets
A street dog smiles
Scratching in the grit

Grab that sucker
Your sister needs a hit

Everybody needs her
Nobody feeds her
Everybody loves her
American Mother
American Mother


Acid drops on sidewalks
Hot dogs at the fair
Driftless colored postcards
Wishing I was where
Grab that pony
Teach him with your thighs
Burn a reservation with your sighs

The government says they freed you
The tourist board says they feed you
The cowboys often feel you
American Mother
American Mother

The D.A. comes for breakfast
Looking for Brother Joe
He′s up in the Utah mountains
Snorting up all the snow
Comanche squaws are special
For a fifty-dollar bill
They'll wrap you up in bear skin
Let you have your fill
Here comes your sister
Her needle's broke again

She′s out there in the alley
Out in a dream


The D.A.′s got your brother
You better run for cover
Queen of the back street lovers
American Mother
American Mother
American Mother
American Mother
