American Beer

Nobody told me it would be like this
Nobody showed me how to care
What better time than a time like this
To show you all the love I have
They say there's no more IRA to fear
There's no more cold war atmosphere
And when there's no more Iron ore left to dig
There's no more news for us to read

And If you see me as a diplomat
Then I am winning by the mile
I'll tell you stories like a thief who has
A cheap blue biro and a line
Satisfaction is a need for us
A satisfaction guaranteed
You taste much better than you did last year
Stronger than American Beer

Take a rest and take your God outside
When I'm on the street I can be what I like
I can talk the way always wanted to
Not many people pass me by
I had a vision like an acrobat
And you caught me spinning like a wheel
I lost control, well, I'll give you that
Well what the hell, it worked for me

And how I wish that you could see me now
I really wish that you were here
You'd be so proud I know you really would
To see the things that I can do
How I wish that you were with me now
Everything would seem so clear
I'd tell you stories through the 'happy hour'
With a cold, weak American Beer

Nobody told me it would be like this
Nobody showed me how to care
What better time than a time like this
To show you all the love I have
