lyrics

The New American Standard

And we’re all enthralled by the television
And we gather round for the late edition
You’re so understanding
What America has been demanding
Yeah, you must be God ‘cause you know everything
It’s almost positively pornographic
When you’re attractive to the right demographic
You’re so mild-mannered
You’re the new American standard
Give us your commandments, ‘cause we’re listening
We’ve lost it all
So small
We crack
If they sold us out, well can’t you buy us back?
We need your help
To take the reins
Or I could cut my losses and just
Cut my veins.

And we’re all enthralled by your publications
You almost had us fooled about your reputation
You’re so charismatic
The epitome of automatic
You didn’t think that we would ever turn on you
Now we know just how bad we’re bleeding
And we’re getting sick of history repeating
You’re so mild-mannered
And accepting of the double standard
Well, if you can be a slut, then I can be one too!

If you’re so smart
Then you should know
Exactly where you’re going to go
It’s obvious what you’re going to get
It’s just too bad you haven’t got it yet.
Let’s drop this bomb
And get out now
There wasn’t gonna be a savior anyhow
And you can be the first
By popular poll
You’re gonna start the nationwide death toll.

You’re the new American standard
You’re gonna burn out soon

The Upside
by HighMay

The album packs in interesting arrangements and takes time to try out a few different sounds. Much lighter than my stuff. But that's a good thing sometimes. Collin Kravis
