Wheatus - American In Amsterdam Lyrics






It's only been an hour but I think I feel the power.
Tell me where do you guys wanna go to?
Well I could go for that but I need to buy a hat,
I think I saw some for sale on the small streets.

[Chorus:]
Can I play the game without a plan?
I think Pete has the map but tell me what's the difference?
Do not know exactly where I am.
I'm an American in Amsterdam.

Phil the mushroom jesus,
He is standing in between us preaching words that he doesn't believe.
I think that he is cracking,
Cuz he keeps calling me captain & he's barking and growling at strangers.
Later on tonight he's gonna turn back into Elvis,
When they kick his ass out of the sex show.

[Chorus:]
We play in a band that has no fans.
I think Pete lost the map, I don't know where we're going.
I'm trying to remember who I am.
I'm an American in Amsterdam.

Mike prefers a quiet conversation in the pub,
But the English are pissed drunk & raging.
"Hey Bono?" they said when they threw peanuts at my head and said
"Hey prick can we try on your glasses?"
Now I am just a dork, ut listen I come from New York so I said:
"Hey, what are you guys Irish?"

[Chorus:]
Came to play the game without a plan.
Pete puked on the map but tell me what's the difference?
I do not know exactly who I am.
I'm an American in Amsterdam.

    I'm from Amsterdam and I do I don't get why people think it's great
    It's poor they make it look wealthy and with people that don't have money comes crime
    Above 60% of the citizens here have sold drugs or stolen items or stolen it themselves
    I hate this shithole country and want to move to the US to start a new life

  23. J.... F....

    Have to admire the swipe at the English bulldogs in this song.

    27/01/96 Grasshopper hash bar on Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal: a guy collapsed across the table beside us, smashing coffee cups and saucers, before he hit the floor like a dead man. At least, I thought he was dead. The young American girls at that table went “Oh my Gawd!” “Is he, like, OK?”

    “I hope so,” replied the cute one working behind the bar. As I helped her pick him up, an American girl asked one of my friends a question. “Is your friend a doctor?”

    “No, but it’s OK, he’s got a Master’s in Sociology.”

  24. S.... B....

    amsterdam is one the greatest cities in the world was once asked to leave a bar at 2:30am but told that the bar down the street was open till 4:30 love it
