American Kryptonite Lyrics

American Kryptonite lyrics

He is the icon of our times, solution to our modern crimes. His trigger finger
clicks remotes, as carbohydrates slowly bloat. Not fragile, or brittle. He's
seeking an acquittal. No scruples, no meekness, he has but one great weakness.
All the world must have a price, save yourself from sacrifice, everything will
end all right. American Kryptonite. His mighty hands will hardly fail, his
intellect is barely frail, he moves his lips in perfect sync, demanding an
espresso drink. With passion, he searches, he'll make another purchase.
Familiar, you know him, he's saying that you owe him. It was like the Manifest
Destiny all over again, except, instead of taking and consuming everything in
their paths for God, they did so with the same fervor and sense of entitlement
for their new god... themselves. Buy, take, break, throw it away.
