Electric Six - American Cheese [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Don't have to tell me that life ain't fair
I lost twelve of my very best men in there
Well hold on, hold on to your curse
Cause this story is depressing and it's gonna get worse
I gotta know what the man on the street thinks
I gotta drink what the man on the beach drinks
Need a security perimeter with Venetian blinds
And an emergency meeting of the meeting of the minds

[Chorus]
Can't see the forest through the trees
I make my living in American cheese
Bringing everybody to their knees
So have another slice of American Cheese
But I know it'd be better
With Gouda or Chedddar

Now there's fifty dead actresses lying in my wake
So have another piece of chicken, have a piece of steak
Well be nice, lover be nice to me
Cause there's an evil army coming that we just can't see
I gotta feel everything I can't feel
I got a steal when I went with the meal deal
I gotta bless their heart and forgive their sins
And pass all my curses onto their next of kin

[Chorus]
Can't see the forest through the trees
I make my living in American cheese
Bringing everybody to their knees
So have another slice of American Cheese
I'm not an I-talian fella
But I like Mozzarella

This conversation is just a time killer, time filler
Taking its toll upon my heart
(Taking its toll upon my heart)
This corporation is just a feed filler, seed spiller
Hell bent on tearing us apart
(Hell bent on tearing us apart)
The Pop King of the nation
Died from pain killers long after Thriller
They sell his music at K-Mart
(They sell his music at K-Mart)
Going station to station, looking for Ben Stiller
Getting Phyllis Dillered
Now too let's go back to start
(Not too let's go back to start)
