letra de a new america - american pinup

[verse 1]
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
what the f-ck 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

[chorus]
i do want to change the world ’cause i’m young and idealistic
and down here they tell us we are capable of anything
and our const-tution’s old, but it’s all so idealistic
and the new america would be a precedented thing
and the new america would just mean new americans

[verse 2]
and isn’t it always the case?
we never get past 7th grade
and as a girl, he’s pushed on our tongues
just because we got straight a’s
we never really had a chance
the hierarchy kicked our -ss
now we’re just as hoping we’ll become the richest in our cl-ss
but, you know, i will learn my sh-t
because i am a patriot
and she just smiles, our faithful consumer capitalist
those straight a’s littering my mind
i worked so hard for them to find
playing dumb and going shopping
could’ve saved me so much time

[bridge]
will i ever grow up? relinquish my ideals?
and join my other comrades on this level playing field?
then lead them to remind you, wanna hear you sing
your life is such a gift in spite of every sh-tty thing

it’s how the story goes, reality, it starts to grow
in a place with puppet strings, but n0body wants to get home
home

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 peace? yeah, used to choke, finally k!lled

[outro]
and we still want to change the world
but we’re young and mostly powerless
and that’s how they told us
that we could do anything
and our resolution’s bold
but it’s all so unrealistic
and a new america would be a precedented thing
and a new america would just mean new americans
