Young American

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 til you're tired of it

Ascend, ascend, ascend



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



Father you said we’re your babies

But we’re always falling down

Why don’t you built 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’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



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 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



I should start cutting myself

So you have less to do

I know you worry when you’ve got a lot on



I should start loving myself

So you have less to do

I know you worry when you’ve got a lot on



Kids hurt themselves by accident

So when I hurt myself, is that an accident?
