you're and american girl
|
red headed eyes blank
|
living in a freckle on the face of the world
|
another dying kid that learned too much too soon
|
you're not as good as your mom
|
but you're as good as dead
|
you're as good as dead
|
new jersey ain't the whole world
|
|
which of your shots have sold?
|
twenty-nine with your child
|
who doesn't give and eats what's left
|
of your young soul
|
another dying spark that burned too fast too soon
|
you're not as bad as your dad
|
but you're as good as dead
|
you're as good as dead
|
new jersey ain't the whole world
|
|
don't you leave me out here too long
|
will you bring me out there?
|
|
you're an american girl
|
out of line in out of time
|
a cry for the leading role
|
your bum childhood stole
|
a mother tires and stuck
|
in her love-worn bed
|
you're not as good as your mom
|
but you're as good as dead
|
you're as good as dead
|
new jersey ain't the whole world
|
|
don't you leave me out here too long
|
will you bring me out there?
