Am I wasting my time?
Sitting here on the sidelines?
When the American standard is so high?
I won't try

I always thought of you
as a better kind of me
How wrong could I have been?
To covet is a shame
We'll never be the same
Nothing is for free

With the money on your mind
I will never pay you back a dime
Am I an arrogant begger who tells lies?
Curse my pride

I always thought of you
as a better kind of me
How wrong could I have been?
To covet is a shame
You'll never be the same
But nothing is for free

The American standard
is so high

The American standard
is so high

The American standard
is so high
