	this is a long song, its the epitaph for youth, thinking you own the world, also it fits the world as current, a lot of people are growing up in a tough world for a lot of reasons that start with home and country. The symbalism of american pie is just that, it is not reflective of the US but rather it is a phrase which most people can relate to.

	Story Behind the Song As mentioned it deals with the struggles of youth in a tough world. The song was recorded in about 24 tracks, very few effects were used, maybe one, the vocals are just as they were recorded, no thickening or compression, thanks to Jimmy for the guitar solo. Lyrics Maybe I’m a dreamer for believing in my youth Maybe I’m a fool for laughing at the truth These days are diamonds and others are rust It’s american pie but its burning in the crust When I grow up When I grow up Maybe I’ll be there to build a dream Maybe I will steal then and live a smokescreen These days are diamonds and others are rust Its american pie but its burning in the crust I’m going to dream and scheme And rule the world I’m going to shove and shout And break the rules I’m going to be the king Of all the minds Its just another day in the middle of many I got no money but I don’t have to be at home tonight It’s coming undone but the party was fun And that’s when I grow up Maybe I was naieve to think it would work out Maybe it was dying when they danced the twist and shout These days are diamonds and others are rust Its american pie but its burning in the crust
