about

Title song for the indie film "American Splendor"

lyrics

AMERICAN SPLENDOR

I THOUGHT THAT I COULD BE SOMEBODY
IT LOOKS LIKE I WAS WRONG
I THOUGHT THAT I COULD MAKE MY MARK, BUT
I’M AFRAID I’VE WAITED MUCH TOO LONG, NOW

WHERE IS MY AMERICAN SPLENDOR
IN A WORLD THAT’S CLOUDY AND GRAY
WHERE LIFE KEEPS PASSING BY ME
DAY BY DAY?

THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD GRIN AND BEAR IT
WHENEVER LIFE GETS ROUGH
THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD SIT IN SILENCE
BUT NOW I GUESS I’VE HAD ENOUGH, AND

WHERE IS MY AMERICAN SPLENDOR
IN A WORLD THAT’S CLOUDY AND GRAY
WHERE LIFE KEEPS PASSING BY ME
DAY BY DAY?

I’M NO HERO, JUST A GUY
WHO WAS BORN TO LIVE, SUFFER AND DIE
I’M A MAN, JUST LIKE YOU
BUT I’LL SHOUT AT THE TOP OF MY VOICE
‘TIL MY POINT GETS THROUGH

I THOUGHT THAT LIFE WAS ONE LONG STRUGGLE
IT LOOKS LIKE I WAS RIGHT
I KNOW I’LL NEVER WIN THIS WAR, BUT
I WON’T GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT, AND

WHERE IS MY AMERICAN SPLENDOR
IN A WORLD THAT’S CLOUDY AND GRAY
WHERE LIFE KEEPS PASSING BY ME
DAY BY DAY?
