// we got time off for good behavior / now we’re seeing where the action is / and i stayed awake til the morning but i never saw it coming / my eyes weren't even open / if that seems like a lie, i can see why / we're not living in the past anymore / we're living in a war / we were born into the middle / but the country couldn't handle us / and all the little dreams inside of me, i refused to believe / 'cause that girl didn't look like me / out here you don't exist without your fame / in the city all the girls start to look the same / so we begin to lose our way / we left in a hurry / 'cause it was strange and sad to see / when it sinks in like a dagger / it gets harder to discover / and your soul just slips away / now we're back in america / where we dream big and we drive drunk / here in america / we look real good 'cause we get lifted up //
