Eytan Mirsky - American Splendor

Eytan Mirsky performs the title track to one of my favorite films (and favorite comic book series) "American Splendor."

LYRICS
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

CHORUS
Where is my American Splendor
In a world that's cloudy and gray
Where life keeps passing me by
Day by day-ay-ay?

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

(Chorus repeats)

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
Till 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

(Chorus repeats)

Where is my American Splendor?
Where is my American Splendor?
Where is my American Splendor?

American Splendor is like our generation's "Old Man and The Sea"
