American Troglodyte (2023 Remaster)

I could be a dancer maybe, I could be a judge
Used to sing that karaoke, but I, I don't do it much
Democracy in action, there is nothin' up my sleeve
A watermelon postcard, I am plantin' all my seeds

Americans are wearin' those sexy jeans
Americans are usin' technology
Americans are surfin' that Internet
Americans are listenin' to 50 Cent
Americans are buyin' that modern art
Americans are drivin' gigantic cars
Americans are doin' that exercise
Americans are livin' like troglodytes

Everybody knows me, they are drinkin' to my health
I terrorized my family and I terrorized myself
Evangelized my bedroom, you can ride away with me
All the girls together in a mighty symphony

Americans are playin' that basketball
Americans are doin' that rock 'n' roll
Americans are goin' to outer space
Americans are buyin' that real estate
And Americans are livin' the simple life
Americans are dancin' on Friday nights
Americans are goin' to Broadway shows
Americans believe in the Holy Ghost
Americans are wearin' that lingerie

Americans are throwin' that shit away
Americans are watchin' reality
Americans are goin' from A to Z
Americans are dancin' in discotheques
Americans are payin' their income tax
Americans are workin' from nine to five
Americans are livin' like troglodytes
