[Verse 1]
We are just an investment
We are some elaborate plan
We are just an investment
A pawn for whom they call "The Man"
Each of us a fragment
Forming but a single piece
Functional and overbearing
Beautiful, but underneath

[Chorus]
We beg for it
We scream for it
A love to manifest and spread to the rest
Oh, we claim America as bliss
But beneath the skin we're in love with the quick fix
Oh, the world is too much to digest
Naive like a child, we're in love by the first kiss

[Verse 2]
Fear or faith has always been a part of me
But I know better than to trust a few men with guns (Run, run!)
Or a carefully worded document
I know I'm not the only one

[Chorus]
Who begs for it?
We scream for it
Oh, we claim America as bliss
But beneath the skin we're in love with the quick fix
Oh, the world is too much to digest
Naive like a child, we're in love by the first kiss
[Bridge]
If, if everyone loved, loved just a little more
If, if everyone loved, loved just a little more

[Chorus]
We beg for it
We scream for it
A love to manifest and spread to the rest
Oh, we claim America as bliss
But beneath the skin we're in love with the quick fix
Oh, the world is too much to digest
Naive like a child, we're in love by the first kiss
Turn on, tune in, turn off, drop out
