Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I grew up rich and my daddy did too
But we're never happy, in fact, if you knew
That his grandpa killed himself in the garage
And four of us tried but we didn't get far
[Verse 2]
My aunt stabbed her brother deep in the neck
And then they committed her, schizophrenic
She was lobotomized for being free
For being dangerous, for what she'd seen
[Chorus]
I can tell you I'm unclean
All my dreams end violently
How’d you get so close to me?
Hold me now, I'll never leave
[Verse 3]
Two anorexic and two just got clean
And we never talk about what it all means
'Cause this is the goddamn American Dream
A lawyer, a banker, a couple more drinks
'Cause somebody's daddy, way back in the day
Made boatloads of money from owning slaves
[Chorus]
I can tell you I'm unclean
All my dreams end violently
How'd you get so close to me?
Hold me now, I'll never leave
[Verse 4]
And so many artists have a trust to their name
And nobody talks, and it all stays the same
We fight with each other, for the purest of all
Looks a lot like the whiteness back when Daddy was born
And the worst of it all is that art saved my life
And the money did too, yeah, the money was nice
'Cause bought me a shrink and a warm place to live
And I bought a guitar back when I was a kid
[Outro]
Back when I was a kid
Back when I was a kid
Back when I was a kid
Back when I was a kid
Back when I was a kid
Back when I was a kid
Back when I was a kid
Back when I was a kid
Back when I was a kid
Back when I was a kid
Back when I was a kid
Back when I was a kid
