American Music Club(often abbreviated AMC) is a San Francisco-based band led by singer-songwriter Mark Eitzel. They've been recording and playing in SF clubs since the mid 1980's, showing a remarkable longevity for a band that has been far more critically acclaimed than financially successful. Although commonly lumped with other bands from the " slowcore" and " sadcore" movements, like the Red House Painters, AMC is better known for mastering the disparate strands of American music into a wholly unique synthesis all their own. Although born in California, frontman Mark Eitzel spent his formative years in Great Britain and Ohio before returning to the Bay Area in 1980. After a brief stint with the punk band he founded American Music Club in 1983 with guitarist Vudi, bassist , keyboardist Brad Johnson, and drummer .

In My Role As The Most Hated Singer Lyrics

American Music Club

In the local underground music scene
In my role as the most hated singer
In the local underground music scene
Ive met a lot of well-dressed cowards
Who were never afraid of anything
I used to hang on each and every word
But now it just seems like a waste of time
You can say anything you want now baby
Just as long as you dont try and waste my time
Oh God I loved you
I shouldve killed you when I had the chance
Now you say that in my sight you love me
But at the time it was kind of hard to tell
I feel like Ive been wrung dry baby
Its too late, why dont you just go to hell
Oh God I loved you
I shouldve killed you when I had the chance
In my role as the most hated singer
In the local underground music scene
All I got was to find your fingerprints
Over everything Ive loved and everything Ive been
Oh God I loved you
I shouldve killed you when I had the chance
I cut you up and Ill stick the knife in
I swear you still wont feel a thing
