[THE AMERICAN]
So you got what you want
What a nasty ambition!
Set me up, pull me down
Then exploit my condition
I should have guessed, woman
That if pressed, woman
You're on nobody's side but your own
And you're behaving
Like a mere woman
It's so clear, woman—
It's your sex!
Once they start getting old and getting worried
They let fly, take it out
On the one who supports them—
That's you I'm talking about
[THE AMERICAN & FLORENCE]
Who'd ever think it?
Such a squalid little ending
Watching you descending
Just as far as you can go
I'm learning things I didn't want to know
Who'd ever guess it?
This would be the situation—
One more observation—
How'd we ever get this far
Before you showed me what you really are?
So you got what you want
