Young American

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was better when I was a baby I only cried when I was tired or hungry Stick your head above the parapet Keep on screaming till you're tired of it And ascend, ascend, ascend Ascend, ascend, ascend [Chorus] I'm a young American So I know I'm safe We're all Americans now And you love me, you love me, you love me But I don't know And you love me, you love me, you love me But I don't know [Verse 2] And Father, you said we're your babies But we're always falling down Why don't you build up Babel for me? These are more Of the words you only hear in songs You can't stay angry for long You'd much rather talk it out (I'd much rather talk it out) [Chorus] I'm a young American So I know I'm safe We're all Americans now You love me, you love me, you love me But I don't know (You love me, you love me, you love me But I don't know) And you love me, you love me, you love me But I don't know [Verse 3] These are more Of the words you only hear in songs You don't stay angry for long You'd much rather talk it out (I'm just saying, I'd much rather talk it out) These are more Of the words you only hear in songs You don't stay angry for long You'd much rather talk it out (I'd much rather talk it out) [Chorus] I'm a young American So I know I'm safe We're all Americans now And you love me, you love me, you love me But I don't know (You love me, you love me, you love me But I don't know) And you love me, you love me, you love me But I don't know [Bridge] I should start cutting myself So you have less to do I know you worry when you've got a lot on And I should start loving myself (And I should start) So you have less to do (Cutting myself) I know you worry when you've got a lot on (So you have less to do) [Outro] Kids hurt themselves by accident So when I hurt myself, is that an accident? Kids hurt themselves by accident So when I hurt myself, is that an accident? Kids hurt themselves by accident So when I hurt myself, is that an accident? Am I an accident, accident, accident?
