Jake Scott - American Man

Green ties pull tight like nooses
Handshake, I'm taking in
Dreams die, in time, I'll lose it
Farewell, my innocence

My worth is measured in signs
Next to numbers on the line
These walls have ruined my eyes
And there's no end of this in sight

Is this all I dreamed of
When I was young and fearless?
Now my days slip by from nine to five
And I, I can't do this
No, I, I can't do this
~~~♫♫♫~~~

Green eyes entice excuses
Handshake, I'm caving in
White lies divide, I choose this
Farewell, my faithfulness

I've been seduced by my greed
And my mistress calling me
My fingers scratch 'till they bleed
And don't I deserve what makes me happy?

Is this all I dreamed of
When I was young and fearless?
Now my days slip by from nine to five
And I, I can't do this
No, I, I can't do this
~~~♫♫♫~~~

I don't see
How this could be worth living for
No, I don't see,
There has to be something more in this

Is this all I dreamed of
When I was young and fearless?
Now my days slip by from nine to five
And I, I can't do this
No, I, I can't do this
