We run like a river

　They were failing dutifully
　If youre going to fail at all
　Failing came more easily
　Than it did to us all
　And i wanted to be there
　See them begin
　It was easy to see they were
　The best band to be in
　I gave up drugging
　When you spiked my drink
　Stopped freeloading
　When i could not get in
　I gave up singing
　When i was told
　I could not dance
　Knew my place in the world
　When i heard them start

　Woke up on sunday morning
　With a hole
　The size of my pool
　Couldnt believe
　Id grown so ugly
　Couldnt believe
　Id been so cruel
　I shouldve set back
　Thought about their past
　East coast to west coast
　How theyd struggled
　For their art

　Some people
　Were born to write
　Some people
　Were born to dance
　Thought i knew my place in the world
　Thought i knew my art
　Glad to be there, see them begin
　It was easy to see
　They were the best band to be
　American guitars...
