American Weddings

by Twan - Aries

i stand around with a drink in my hand
i threw it in your face
gotta get out of this place
trying to keep pace
i get married in new york
not valid in vermont
get married in vermont
by the grace of dupont
thats american weddings for you
only a certain class gets married
gotta date forever
gettting more and more harrried
where is my head, up in the clouds
trying to be heard without getting loud
where did i go, where can i be
without really trying to be me
its all racist and dumb, they call it jumping the broom
can't go any where, with my friend who smokes shroomz
the sickness gets rampant, pronounce you man and wife
and you look at this person, who you won't be with for life
oh, these american weddings, into gala affairs
they go make out in the trees, in uneven pairs
can't get married in america, cept in the east
a place where i would, like to go the least
where is my head, up in the clouds
where i can be heard without getting loud
where did i go, where can i be 
without really being me
the american wedding, of all the year
it was broken up three months later, so stick that in your ear
what good does it do, to be right
to accept a screaming slight
where we can be alone,overlooking the lake
you just wanted to marry my money, so you are fake
killing time and making children
not interested in that
life sucks and so does marriage
tires are going flat
where is my head, up in the clouds
where i can be heard without getting loud
where did i go, who can i see
cause i still really want, to just be me.
