Everclear - American Monster lyrics

On the edge of the American dream A perfect place for someone like me I like the way trouble rises to the top It makes my bitter life a little more sweet Bad people do bad things I am the monster that you see in your dreams A bad seed in a little pink bow I am a problem that you never want to know You gotta understand, you better believe The monster in you brings out the monster in me Ah yeah You better believe there is a monster in me I am a nice bright family of four You don’t wanna know what’s behind my door I’m your little sister I’m addicted to crack I do bad things for money that would give my dad a heart attack No angels on the streets where I sell Very little heaven and a whole lotta hell Nothing is as scary as true life can be I’m the only devil that you’re ever gonna see You better run understand you better believe That the victim in you brings out the monster in me I’m the worst thing you’ll ever see You better run from the monster in me I’m the last thing you’ll ever see You better run from the monster in me You better run I’m a meth lab on a residential street I took all your money in a ponzi scheme I am your neighborhood predator priest I k** for fun just to hear you scream Bad people like to do bad things I don’t wanna be better, I don’t wanna be saved You better pay attention and you better beware You better understand monsters are everywhere You better beware, you better understand Monsters are everywhere Yeah you better beware You better understand Monsters are everywhere I’m the worst thing you’ve ever seen You’ll never get away from the monster in me I’m the last thing you’ll ever see Cause you’ll never run away from the monster in me
