A New America
It's what we've been ordained to do We really are the chosen few Just scoffing from our sofas Taking in the 5 o'clock news I'm not responsible for this Or for that matter anything I would have voted for a difference But of course I was a kid
They got themselves into this mess And what the fuck did they expect? We'd take it off their hands The world's most unwanted inheritance People are so disappointing Spoiling this comfort for me And if they can't help themselves Then maybe we should weed them out
I do want to change the world 'Cause I'm young and idealistic And 'round here they tell us we are capable of anything And our constitution's old But it's also idealistic And a new America would be a precedented thing And a new American would just mean new Americans
And isn't it always the case We never get past 7th grade The names of bullies perched on our tongues Just because we got straight A's We never really had a chance The hierarchy kicked our ass Now we're just left hoping we'll become The richest in our class
But you know I will earn my shit Because I am a patriot And Jesus smiles on a faithful Consumer capitalist Those straight A's linger in my mind 更多更详尽歌词 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔镜歌词网 I worked so hard for them to find Playing dumb and going shopping Would have saved me so much time
I do want to change the world 'Cause I'm young and idealistic And 'round here they tell us we are capable of anything And our constitution's old But it's also idealistic And a new America would be a precedented thing And a new American would just mean new Americans
Will I ever grow up? Relinquish my ideals And join my noble comrades on this 'level playing field' You need things to remind you They wanna hear you sing That life is such a gift in spite of every shitty thing
It's how they story goes The iron of stunted growth In a place where progress reigns But nobody wants to get old
I'm protected by the law To be employed and independent I don't need a man or children to survive or feel fulfilled I just need a place to sleep Oh, and I just need my music Have I slipped into a cliché, is the joke finally killed?
And we still want to change the world But we're young and mostly powerless And mad as hell that they told us that we could to anything And our resolution's bold But it's all so unrealistic And a new America would be a precedented thing And a new American would just mean new Americans
