You can play what you like, it doesn't matter
Just say what you write - working nine to five for your wife means
Playing the actor
If it's alright with you, cause there's nothing better, better, better
That I can imagine or do

You can live how you like, it doesn't matter
You can spend all your time, keep the kids in sight,
Out of mind on our American pastures
The TVs so bright, that screen
Blowin' up the faces of the Presidents only talking to me

She likes short meals and fast cars
He likes to play cool and act smart
It's an unfortunate setting,
It's a bad American wedding

Could you turn down those lights?
Could it be any louder?
Could you clean up those lines?
*Pointing to the ounce of white powder on the bathroom counter*
Tell the help to find my keys
Cause there's nothing better, better, better to do than dry in the breeze

How are you, take my wife cause I can't afford her
No longer a dime, but if you've got my money on your mind,
She's about three quarters
That damn kid of mine can't sleep
He's blowin' up his face and waiting patiently, praying for life on TV

She likes Republican mascots,
He likes bad deals with half-hearts
It's an unfortunate setting,
It's a bad American wedding
