American Guitars Lyrics - New Wave - Auteurs

They were failing dutifully 

If you're going to fail at all 

Failing came more easily 

Than it did to us all 

And I wanted to be there 

See them begin 

It was easy to see them 

They were the best band to be in 

I gave up drugging 

When you spiked my drink 

Stopped freeloading 

When I could not get in 

I gave up singing 

When I was told I could not dance 

Knew my place in the world 

When I heard them start 

American guitars 

American guitars 

American guitars 

American guitars 

Woke up on Sunday morning 

With a hole the size of my pool 

Couldn't believe I've grown so ugly 

Couldn't believe I've been so cruel 

I should've set back 

Thought about their past 

East coast to west coast 

How they've struggled for their art 

Some people are born to write 

Some people are born to dance 

Thought I knew my place in the world 

Thought I knew my art 

Glad to be there 

See them begin 

It was easy to see them 

They were the best band to be 

American guitars 

American guitars 

American guitars 

American guitars 

[Incomprehensible]
