I've been programmed to behave like an average

American Girl

I've been programmed to behave like a generational victim

I've been programmed to behave

I've been programmed to behave;

And I learned it all from Small Wonder

Repeat after me

While you are getting sleepy

You will obey

The guidelines of your age

When you are 20, you will act 20

When you are 40, well, Good-Bye

I've been programmed to behave. I've been programmed

To behave. I've been programmed to behave...

Do you read me?

Are your circuits free?

We designed your mood

To fit your demographic group

If you are 20, you must be lazy

If you are 40- money-mine

I've been programmed to behave

I've been programmed to behave

No, I will not listen to you

You clutter and clatter, so I just cover and clamor

"I-I-I'm anything."

No, I will not listen to you

You clutter and clatter, so I just cover and clamor

"I-I-I'm anything."

Testing 1-2-3

Clear the line for me

Don't go out your door;

It's a barometric war

When it is 20, it's the Antartic

When it is 40 there's worse to come

I've been programmed to behave

I've been programmed to behave

(Chorus)

I've been programmed to behave like an average

American Girl

I've been programmed to behave like a generation victim

I've been programmed to behave

I've been programmed to behave
