lyrics

Electric current or a psychic tremor
Incandescent ghost of American splendor
A gasbag a gaslight a soft left a hard right
Life on a knife for the American wife

Is she a woman is she even a thing
When she bleeds is it ice cream
A half truth a bald shame combed over by white lies
The white knight loves a spotlight

Get married be a wife
Take the blame for the men in your life
You worked twice as hard
To climb half as far

Wear it in sweetness wear it in sin
A smiling woman simply can't win
Wind at your back fanning flames climbing higher
At the edge of an ocean that gets darker and wider

Get married be a wife
Take the blame for the men in your life
You worked twice as hard
To climb half as far

She's lived the life of an American wife
Life on a knife for the American wife
Endless night for the American wife
No end in sight for the American wife
