American Kids Lyrics

I live under a rock with a blacklight

I'm a dumb pop star in my own right

Started life at age 15, got ahead with fake ID's

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

Girls, let's put on all of our clothes

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

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 trip wire

I should be everything you hate

I should be higher now than space but I'm static

Boys, aren't even boys anymore

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

Liberty isn't cheap and it ain't free

I'm a millennial blame it all on me

American kids

American kids

American kids
