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