The Explosion – The Ideal lyrics
There are no ghost Americans
There are no proud Americans

This isn't my idea of success

I'm not impressed
With the cowboy of expressions
Of the ones who learn their lessons
An' know what to expect

There are no ghost Americans
There are no proud Americans

This isn't my idea of success

I'm not impressed
With the board of directors
The state's inspectors
Givin' 'em lectures

Just because you win
Doesn't mean I lose
hey hey hey
Who's afraid of breaking rules

Just because you win
Doesn't mean I lose
hey hey hey
An' I'm not afraid of you

I'm not impressed
With the board of directors
The state's inspectors
Givin' 'em lectures

I'm not impressed
With the cow boy expressions
Of the ones who learn their lessons
An' know what to expect
