This American Lie Songtext
von John P. Strohm

This American lie ′neath chemical skies
In shimmering twilight
This American dream, it's work at the seam
Reflected in hindsight
Don′t go away
I want you to stay
Stay out of the way
Crossing enemy lines
With Twitterin' vines
On glittering sidewalks


But the enemy's here
We′re having a beer
And suffering small talk
Don′t go away
I want you to stay
Stay out of the way
You'll never be lonely again
You′ll never be lonely again
You'll never be lonely again
You′ll never be alone

This American lie
Through cynical eyes
In shimmering twilight
This American dream
It's torn at the seam
Rejected in hindsight
Don′t go away
I want you to stay
I want you to stay
Stay the fuck away

From me
