new archetype

Lyrics

[Intro] I've come a long way to be forgotten Then again, I've come a long way to get shoved back in the dirt And while you were out bullying on Gallatin Waxing punk rock and waxing valiant This diminutive Italian's been doing the work [Verse 1] Listen brother You can't pull that one off on a girl who grew up on Dolly Parton You can't pull one of those on her when she knows her worth And I'm aware you're niche micro-famous And feeling dangerous You put your heart into a playlist full of songs she's already heard [Chorus] And she said "I need a new archetype" 'cause Amelia Earhart lived such a short life Before she went down, I'm laying up in bed I caught a vision in my head We'll talk about it later, too many people around [Post Chorus] They had no idea all of 2019 was symbolic (yeah) They had no idea I didn't believe my own life And no one can be like Jesus or RuPaul But we can strive [Verse 2] Working hard (working hard) to be self aware (Number one, the most self-aware!) Too bad they don't really care They'll always be your enemy They like waking up all the sheep As long as it's good for business And if it's not, then don't you dare I said I've come a long way to be forgotten I said I come a long way to make it here Still haven't found the way I can win in this world But I can show you how to disappear [Chorus] I said I need a new archetype (yeah) I heard the way John Lennon treated his wife (come on, boys, we can do better) I'm laying up in bed I found somebody in a book I read To talk about later, too many people around [Post Chorus] And they had no idea why the war is symbolic (m-hm) And they had no idea about the violence inside, yeah There's never gonna be another Big Thief, another Tame Impala But still we gotta let the kid try [Outro] Mm, come on and let the kid try Let the kid try Let the kid try
