American Kids by Poppy
American Kids
[Verse 1]
Ab
I live under a rock with a blacklight
Fm
I'm a dumb pop star in my own right
Ab
Started life at age 15, got ahead with fake ID's
C#
If you're with me
Ab
Sold my soul to the man with a handshake
Fm
Lost control but I don't think it's too late
Ab
We're dying young on broadcast news
Fm
Forever 21 is cool if I make it
[Pre-Chorus]
D#
Girls, let's put on all of our clothes
[Chorus]
Ab
I don't wanna be like American kids
Fm
I am not on drugs and I've never been
C#
I don't care about your party, I belong to nobody
Ab
I don't wanna be like American kids
Fm
Drugs don't work like they did for my parents
C#
I'm not down with the new hit
D# Ab
Cause today I just don't get American kids
[Verse 2]
Ab
Last time I told mom that 'I love you'
Fm
Was the last time I ate food from a drive-through
Ab
It never happened like they say
Fm
I think my father may be gay but I don't know
Ab
So I burned all my shit in a bonfire
Fm
All my teen regrets were a trip wire
Ab
I should be everything you hate
Fm
I should be higher now than space but I'm static
[Pre-Chorus]
D#
Boys, aren't even boys anymore
[Chorus]
Ab
I don't wanna be like American kids
Fm
I am not on drugs and I've never been
C#
I don't care about your party, I belong to nobody
Ab
I don't wanna be like American kids
Fm
Drugs don't work like they did for my parents
C#
I'm not down with the new hit
D# Ab
Cause today I just don't get American kids
[Bridge]
Ab
Liberty isn't cheap and it ain't free
Fm
I'm a millennial blame it all on me
[Outro]
Ab
