Lyrics
American Tradition
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He wants to lift weights like a fighter
We put the medals on the wall
Lost in the room of starving vultures
Gold trophies, he got em all
He wants to be just like his father
We play the knife game on the table
I bleed to death, it doesn't matter
Cuz my baby, he's still the winner
He holds me in his arms but it's no good
Things don't go like they should
Sleep on the carpet through the night
We're living off a TV dinner
Hanging me up by his gold chain
He used to be a hockey player
I used to be a figure skater
Cutting my leg with the blade
In the blue and red arena
Trying to pretend we're the same
