Lyrics
so we cam from nothin
turned it into somethin
where did we go wrong here?
what was i born into?
and all the while, my country smiles, they smile
the things they're in, it's all pretend, they smile
home, home american home
all the logic that built you is wrong
home, home, you failed as a home
now i don't know
i don't know where i belong...
the sovereign eyes were on me
they draw their lines upon me
like the priests that ran my hometown
they're the creatures runnin' this one
and all the while, my country smiles, they smile
the shit they're in, it's all pretend, they smile
home, home american home
all the lines that designed you are flawed
home, home, you failed as a home
now i don't know
i don't know where i belong...
"what is this... i don't know...
"yeah i did like try to get back up, but then i couldn't get back up...tortured souls... fuck it up, you know? gotta change things..."
"...have you ever listened to lorelai?"
"... i want to have sex with everything... this man runs outside at twilight and strikes a match on his chest and carves his initials in a tree.."
"...that's what learning is to me, when things don't make any sense..."
