Young American Lyrics by Itoldyouiwouldeatyou

Oh Dearism

2018

I was better when I was a baby
I only cried when I was tired or hungry
Stick your head above the parapet
Keep on screaming til you're tired of it
Ascend, ascend, ascend
I’m a young American
So I know I’m safe
We’re all Americans now
And you love me, you love me, you love me
But I don’t know
Father you said we’re your babies
But we’re always falling down
Why don’t you built up Babel for me?
These are more
Of the words you only hear in songs
You can't stay angry for long
You’d much rather talk it out
I’m a young American
So I know I’m safe
We’re all Americans now
And you love me, you love me, you love me
But I don’t know
These are more
Of the words you only hear in songs
You don’t stay angry for long
You’d much rather talk it out
I’m a young American
So I know I’m safe
We’re all Americans now
And you love me, you love me, you love me
But I don’t know
I should start cutting myself
So you have less to do
I know you worry when you’ve got a lot on
I should start loving myself
So you have less to do
I know you worry when you’ve got a lot on
Kids hurt themselves by accident
So when I hurt myself, is that an accident?
