Mind My Apple Pie
1.
I caught my plane from Heathrow, touching down at JFK
I got my coffee to go, stepped into the heat of May
I got to get my car from repo, at the depot
If they know a damn word I say
2.
As I reach the heat of morning it’s getting difficult to see
It seems the smog is soaring, and it’s getting hard to breathe
But I saw bad times a-dawning, just this morning
In this great land of the free
Pre-chorus
Somebody asked me if I’m willing to pay
Well he’s a, paid-up member of the NRA
And I just, had to think of something to say
Before he gets real tired and tries to blow me away
Chorus
For every dollar I earn there’s a dime that’s still mine
And I hate to waste all your precious time, so
Mind my Apple Pie
3.
The elevator’s falling, but not as fast as my hopes
I can feel my skin crawling, like I’ve really sunk so low
This business of ass-kissing, got a shoe-in
Tastes so bad like I don’t know
4.
I never stood a chance, me, I got far too high to reach
But it’s just ironic here in the land of opportunity
So I guess they just won’t get me, and forget me
Get me back over the sea
Pre-chorus
Believe me I’m not trying to make some waves
But this must, really be the home of the brave
Losing a game I never wanted to play
But we gotta have a winner so the rest will all pay
Chorus
For every happy ending there’s a thousand getting screwed
And I hate to break you all the bad news, but
Mind my Apple Pie
Pre-chorus
Somebody tell me how much honesty pays
Well I just, spent my tomorrows just to get by today
They must, have seen me coming from an ocean away
Just another limey loser in the US of A
Chorus
For every dollar I earn there’s a dime that’s still mine
And I hate to waste all your precious time, so
Mind my Apple Pie
Mind my Apple Pie
Mind my Apple Pie
Mind my Apple Pie
Mind my Apple Pie
