So American
I grew up in a desert town where nothing happens
Their minds were still stuck around the 1950s
My kind of love wasn't allowed
I wasn't prom king
They had everything figured out
That has to mean something
But what if it doesn't
What if it means nothing
What if everything was never for a reason
What if I'm lacking intellectual perspective
And I can't see the things that I'm supposed to
I don't wanna be an American Idle
I can live without the title
Of sitting in my room as the world goes by
I would rather die alone than comply
Put my hands into the sky
But I'm watching TV until the world comes crashing down
They said that I was number one
That I could do anything
But then my mind got in the way and it made me sick
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders
I'm just a boy in the 21st century
But what if I'm lacking intellectual perspective
And I can't see the things that I'm supposed to
I don't wanna be an American Idle
I can live without the title
Of sitting in my room as the world goes by
I would rather die alone than comply
Put my hands into the sky
But I'm watching TV until the world comes crashing down
Guns and chains
No sick days
One night stands
Broken hearts
Cheap tattoos
Legal weed
Brain rot shows
It's the American dream
I don't wanna be an American Idle
I can live without the title
Of sitting in my room as the world goes by
I would rather die alone than comply
Throw my hands into the sky
But
I am American
