Текст песни: Typical American Boy + перевод

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
