lyrics

letting your life melt away like an ice cream cone in a sauna
sitting in your Hyundai Santa Fe listening to Nirvana
that plays on the car radio
your pretentious friend says "oh gross"
I prefer Bleach not this garbage
you say never mind, get out of your car and say

"who needs friends when you've gotta friend like George Washington
who smiles at you when you used the US dollar?"

we're just;
american boys spending american money
american boys, laugh it up, it's pretty funny
soul searching on a dating website
spending money on your new device
will that make you happy?
your american money

stop waiting for someone above you to fulfill your well being
just get a good paying job and buy everything you like and see
'cuz like you said, the best things in life, well they are not free
they're goods and services that you can afford in this economy

because emotions are obsolete when you have plenty of food to eat
a nice car, a sizable home and a lot of free time to masturbate
'cuz you'll be spending your whole life alone

and I hate myself
