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 .

The Right Thing Lyrics

American Music Club

This song is dedicated to the chain of lies
Handed down from generation to generation
Like cancer through the ages
Well you seem to be waiting
For the thunder or the lightning
To blow away all your bad luck baby
Well you seem to be waiting
For a big landslide to take you away
But I dont think that a million bucks
Is really gonna change your luck
Im here to tell you thats too high a price to pay
cause it dont take much of the right thing
And if I stay by you
Dont worry about it
It dont take much for me to stay by you
And if I love you too much
Dont worry about it
It dont take much for me to love you
And they say that the worlds gonna end with a whimper
Well thats just the sound it makes anyway
And Im sure a bottle of some more million bucks
Would make it feel better
But believe it or not I think thats too high a price to pay
cause it dont take much of the right thing
