I am the American Pissed

I am the American pissed
There's no other way to describe it
I'm not gonna write-down a list
I'm not hawking no diatribe.

Not wiser, just older and saddened.
Not smoother, not sharper nor rich.
Bit more confident, bit more haggard.
I know what it's like to have kissed.

You are the intangible 'Other'.
You are the yin to my yang.
Predictable, disappointing lover,
A distorted humanoid slang.

As concrete gives way to bluegrass,
As benevolence buckles to sin,
We knew this was coming from way back.
Perhaps now it's time to give-in.
