Everclear - American Monster Lyrics






On the edge of the American dream
A perfect place for someone like me
I like the way trouble rises to the top
It makes my bitter life a little more sweet

Bad people do bad things
I am the monster that you see in your dreams
A bad seed in a little pink bow
I am a problem that you never want to know
You gotta understand, you better believe
The monster in you brings out the monster in me
Ah yeah
You better believe there is a monster in me

I am a nice bright family of four
You don’t wanna know what’s behind my door
I’m your little sister I’m addicted to crack
I do bad things for money that would give my dad a heart attack

No angels on the streets where I sell
Very little heaven and a whole lotta hell
Nothing is as scary as true life can be
I’m the only devil that you’re ever gonna see
You better run understand you better believe
That the victim in you brings out the monster in me
I’m the worst thing you’ll ever see
You better run from the monster in me
I’m the last thing you’ll ever see
You better run from the monster in me
You better run

I’m a meth lab on a residential street
I took all your money in a ponzi scheme
I am your neighborhood predator priest
I kill for fun just to hear you scream

Bad people like to do bad things
I don’t wanna be better, I don’t wanna be saved
You better pay attention and you better beware
You better understand monsters are everywhere
You better beware, you better understand
Monsters are everywhere
Yeah you better beware
You better understand
Monsters are everywhere

I’m the worst thing you’ve ever seen
You’ll never get away from the monster in me
I’m the last thing you’ll ever see
Cause you’ll never run away from the monster in me

    They were in Atlanta twice this past year and dammit if I didn't miss them both times. fan since World of Noise. Thanks for making love to my ears all of these years.

    I like the fact that they have kept that old feeling but have still adapted and don't feel outdated.

    Great sound; a lot like what I listened to before and after school growing up in the 90's. Can't wait to see you guys again here in Austin next month; will be the 3rd time in last 4 years.

  14. C.... D....

    This is killer

  15. J.... D....

    As always, never let down....Although this album excites me like the early years. Noise, Sparkle or Afterglow.....The American Movie releases weren't bad & Slow Motion was underrated I thought. Although I enjoyed Invisible Stars a lot, Drama Club had a few really good ones but for this there's Almost some White Trash Hell going on....Love it!! best in a while. :-)

    Great album! Definitely what I have been waiting for since Sparkle and Fade.

    M.... D....

    @Matt Dodd Agreed

    M.... D....

    it's good but it's nowhere near sparkle and fade that album is just on a whole nother level
