lyrics

Nine to five to maintain existence
A wink for more and the corporate scores
For a few
But I’m cool

Give up your seat for an elder person
A pushy suit on the phone sits down
No thank you
But I’m cool

Suffer through these indignities with bit lip
Check your every moment hope there’s no hitch
Avoid the nagging cynical mode that burns from inside out

Walk on green yet the car heads straight for you
Yell and scream they look up from their cell
And just beam
But I’m cool

Stand in line with your under twelve items
A single orange turns and smiles as their full cart
Slips through
But I’m cool

Suffer through these indignities with bit lip
Check your every moment hope there’s no hitch
Avoid the nagging cynical mode that burns from inside out
Fake karma, Good Samaritan just insincerity
But I’m cool

Karma what
Good Samaritan
They say entitlement you know the rules
Just insincerity
I’m not fooled

Expose the suit in a corporate fraud case
The seniors win all his money while he rots
In jail
Well that’s cool

Car runs the red hits the jaywalking full cart
Cops cites them both at fault
No excuse
And that’s cool

Suffer through these indignities with bit lip
Check your every moment hope there’s no hitch
Avoid the nagging cynical mode that burns from inside out
Fake karma, Good Samaritan just insincerity
But I’m cool

about

The American Professionals St. Louis, Missouri

St. Louis hook-heavy guitar pop band The American Professionals’ core members Chuck Lindo and Cheryl Hendrickson’s music and personal lives are both intertwined and parallel. This husband/wife team makes that paradox possible on their 2017 release, Sympathetic Overdrive. The record is a genre-hopping display of both unity and individuality, fear and hope, love and scorn. ... more
