American TV (LIVE) Lyrics

Do your best to do the worst and spite the lot

I would call you by your name but I forgot

Smoke until your hands get cold while you watch

American TV

City dweller knows he'll never make a mark

Sitting pretty telling stories after dark

You sing along and let the telephone remark

He's got it out for you, maybe

Cause you make me feel like

I'm alright

Less than zero

You coulda come through

Or could you

Wouldn't stop to

Pick up where you left off

Right on

It's not about me

So sit on your settee

And watch your

American TV

American TV

Sing while Smokey Joe sings his la la

Poorly quoted quips from sunset boulevard

I heard it's all he plays at his cinema

Watches it without, nobody

Sometimes I come over every other weekend

Watching blue movies until I see red

Sometimes I wish that I would just break his head

Sick of American TV

Cause you make me feel like

I'm alright

Less than zero

You coulda come through

Or could you

Wouldn't stop to

Pick up where you left off

Right on

It's not about me

So sit on your settee

And watch your

American

Cause you make me feel like

I'm alright

Less than zero

You coulda come through

Or could you

Wouldn't stop to

Pick up where you left off

Right on

It's not about me

So sit on your settee

And watch your

American TV
