Rare Americans
Good To Be Young

"What the hell happened?
After school you looked fine"
"Nothing" it wasn't my first time justifying a black eye
She says "They say this shit will kill you, but i don't think it will
It'll help ease the pain
It'll help you chill"

Ain't it good to be young
Ain't it good to be free
Not a care in the world
Not with you and me
Ain't it good to be young
Ain't it good to be free
Not a spot on the planet that i'd rather be
Ain't it good to be young
Ain't it good to be free
Ain't it good to be out tonight
Just you and me

She says "Scotty, block it out
Don't let the noise in"
"My mind's a factory flat out
It runs on poison"
She said "After what happened last year
I promised myself not to let boys in
But here i am with you
Yeah here i am with you"
She tells me two years ago she had an abortion
They hid it from her dad
Undred percent the right call
But there's no telling
What he'll di when he gets mad
He's trying to get rich selling fat sucking pills from Japan
He's a hairy four hundred pound
Deeply flawed man
He's into war war war
Like you've never seen before
Snoring over the D-day special
On the Normandy shores
Didn't have a condom
I said "i'm not sure this is smart"
She said "Boy, you going to live listening to your head or your heart?"

Ain't it good to be young
Ain't it good to be free
Not a care in the world
Not with you and me
Ain't it good to be young
Ain't it good to be free
Not a spot on the planet that i'd rather be
Ain't it good to be young
Ain't it good to be free
Ain't it good to be out tonight
Just you and me
You and me
You and me
