American Kids

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I live under a rock with a blacklight I'm a dumb pop star in my own right Started life at age fifteen, got ahead with fake IDs If you're with me Sold my soul to the man with a handshake Lost control, but I don't think it's too late We're dying young on broadcast news Forever 21 is cool if I make it [Pre-Chorus] Girls, let's put on all of our clothes (Huh) [Chorus] I don't wanna be like American kids I am not on drugs and I've never been I don't care about your party, I belong to nobody I don't wanna be like American kids Drugs don't work like they did for my parents I'm not down with the new hit 'Cause today, I just don't get American kids [Verse 2] Last time I told mom that "I love you" Was the last time I ate food from a drive-thru It never happened like they say I think my father may be gay, but I don't know So I burned all my shit in a bonfire All my teen regrets were a tripwire I should be everything you hate I should be higher now than space, but I'm static [Pre-Chorus] Boys aren't even boys anymore (Huh) [Chorus] I don't wanna be like American kids I am not on drugs and I've never been I don't care about your party, I belong to nobody I don't wanna be like American kids Drugs don't work like they did for my parents I'm not down with the new hit 'Cause today, I just don't get American kids [Bridge] Liberty isn't cheap and it ain't free I'm a millennial, blame it all on me [Outro] American kids American kids American kids American kids
