Lyrics

She was a child of the 80s
A real good kid, she had the love of her family
She grew up well and she grew up fast
Studied hard, she graduated as the market crashed
Into the world at the bottom
Now all her dreams are forgotten
Watched them crumble into debt and dust
She says
These days I’m ashamed to be American
Hope someday we get the good old days back again
I was raised on those promises
That we’d be alright, that we’d have a chance
She found herself awake again last night
Riddled with anxiety through the best years of her life
NPR every morning
As she swipes through men she never wanted
Runs out the door afraid she missed the bus
She says
These days I’m ashamed to be American
Hope someday we get the good old days back again
I was raised on those promises
That we’d be alright, that we’d have a chance
These days I’m ashamed to be American
Hope someday we get the good old days back again
I was raised on those promises
That we’d be alright, that we’d have a chance
She’s up all night, trying to make it right, her whole life
Waiting on a lie that won’t come true, that won’t come true
She’s up all night, trying to make it right, her whole life
Waiting on a lie that won’t come true, that won’t come true
She says
These days I’m ashamed to be American
Hope someday we get the good old days back again
I was raised on those promises
That we’d be alright, that we’d have a chance
She’s up all night, trying to make it right, her whole life
Waiting on a lie that won’t come true, that won’t come true
She’s up all night, trying to make it right, her whole life
Waiting on a lie that won’t come true, that won’t come true
