Typical American Boy - Remastered

Lyrics

You're a typical American boy from a typical American home
 Started out with a couple of breaks
 you couldn't leave well enough alone
 You had to keep on messing around with stuff you didn't understand
 You were miserable as a child and you're even worse as a man
 Didn't make it hanging around the
 house you wasn't having very much fun
 Should have got a job in New Jersey
 But you're a play piece son of a gun
 You drifted into the city looking for something to do
 Every day was different and it was always something new
 You were always ready to try something that you ain't tried
 Pretty soon your mind said "Son you better look for a place to hide"
 You didn't do to well in college, didn't dig the intellectual scene
 Never soaked up very much knowledge
 so you thought about joining the marines
 Oh that stuff didn't last too long and you never learned how to fight
 But you sure learned how to get right tonight
 You seemed to have lost direction, wandered from bar to bar
 Everybody in the whole damn place is wondering who you are
 I believe you would go on home if you had any place to go
 But there ain't nobody waiting for
 you that you would even care to know
 If you spoke the language you could move to a foreign land
 But people talk to you in English here and you still don't understand
 Oh baby all right. But you sure know how to get right tonight
 Yes out of the darkness you follow that neon light
 And you sure know how to get right tonight
 Oh baby all right. You sure know how to get right tonight
