New archetype Lyrics by Arlie

new archetype / dogs of music city

2024

[Intro]
I've come a long way to be forgotten
Then again, I've come a long way to get shoved back in the dirt
And while you were out bullying on Gallatin
Waxing punk rock and waxing valiant
This diminutive Italian's been doing the work
[Verse 1]
Listen brother
You can't pull that one off on a girl who grew up on Dolly Parton
You can't pull one of those on her when she knows her worth
And I'm aware you're niche micro-famous
And feeling dangerous
You put your heart into a playlist full of songs she's already heard
[Chorus]
And she said "I need a new archetype"
'cause Amelia Earhart lived such a short life
Before she went down, I'm laying up in bed
I caught a vision in my head
We'll talk about it later, too many people around
[Post Chorus]
They had no idea all of 2019 was symbolic (yeah)
They had no idea I didn't believe my own life
And no one can be like Jesus or RuPaul
But we can strive
[Verse 2]
Working hard (working hard) to be self aware
(Number one, the most self-aware!)
Too bad they don't really care
They'll always be your enemy
They like waking up all the sheep
As long as it's good for business
And if it's not, then don't you dare
I said
I've come a long way to be forgotten
I said I come a long way to make it here
Still haven't found the way I can win in this world
But I can show you how to disappear
[Chorus]
I said I need a new archetype (yeah)
I heard the way John Lennon treated his wife (come on, boys, we can do better)
I'm laying up in bed
I found somebody in a book I read
To talk about later, too many people around
[Post Chorus]
And they had no idea why the war is symbolic (m-hm)
And they had no idea about the violence inside, yeah
There's never gonna be another Big Thief, another Tame Impala
But still we gotta let the kid try
[Outro]
Mm, come on and let the kid try
Let the kid try
Let the kid try
