American Kids

I live under a rock

With a black light

I'm a dumb pop star

In my own right

Started life at age fifteen

Got ahead with fake ID's

If you're with me

Sold my soul to the man

With a handshake

Lost control but

I don't think it's too late

We're dying young

On broadcast news

Forever 21 is cool

If I make it

Girls, let's put on all of our clothes

I don't wanna be like American kids

I am not on drugs and I've never been

I don't care about your party

I belong to nobody

I don't wanna be like American kids

Drugs don't work like

They did for my parents

I'm not down with the new hit

'Cause today, I just don't get

American kids

Last time I told mom

That, I love you

Was the last time I ate food

From the drive thru

It never happened like they say

I think my father may be gay

But I don't know

So I burned all my shit

In a bonfire

All my teen regrets

Were a tripwire

I should be everything you hate

I should be high and out in space

But I'm static

Boys, aren't even boys anymore

I don't wanna be like American kids

I am not on drugs and I've never been

I don't care about your party

I belong to nobody

I don't wanna be like American kids

Drugs don't work like

They did for my parents

I'm not down with the new hit

'Cause today, I just don't get

American kids

Liberty isn't cheap and it ain't free

I'm a millennial, blame it on me

American kids

American kids
