The American Seam

The American Seam 

The chords for this song are C and F 
they are played in a regular strum,  
playing individually and  
playing down to up with a slow strum  
for the speaking part 

C  I forsee  F  the american dream 
C  but all is not  F  as it leans 
flock towards me in puddles and streams 
for the opportunities of bootleg jeans 
the rational writhed and screamed 
for the mass of fabricated dreams 
people's and person's actual needs 
like their souls and mouths to feed 

Chorus:Refrao 
consumerism personifies the weed 
but was not born from a seed 
merely created 

I was born a british 
and therefore do not possess the fetish 
needed to acquire the english (Chorus) 
everybody pray to the west 
put the burdens off your chest 
whether you make your own path is the test 
my empathy and sympathy is not enough to save you 
you encourage yourself and around this they build the zoo 

Chorus:Refrao 
consumerism personifies the weed 
but was not born from a seed 
merely created 


i've been a part of it to 
the system I have broke on through 
i'm not quite on the other side 
I needed to develop reliable ties 
on which I could rely 
then the limits would be defined by the sky 
and of course buy my mind 

C > F (play from down to up dragging your finger) 
happiness is your own 
find it according to your own rules 
enlightenment and entitlement are not the same thing 
discuss
