"a new archetype" lyrics

I've come a long way to be forgotten
But then again
I've come a long way to get shoved back in the dirt
And while you were bullying on Gallatin
Waxing punk rock and waxing valiant
This diminutive Italian's been doing the work

Listen brother
You can't pull that one off on a girl who grew up on Dolly Parton
You can't pull one of those on her when she knows her worth
And I'm aware you're "niche micro famous"
And feeling dangerous
You put your heart into a playlist full of songs she's already heard
And she said
I need a new archetype
'Cause Amelia Earhart lived such a short life
Before she went down
When I'm laying up in bed
I got a vision in my head
We can talk about it later
Too many people around

And they had no idea how all of 2019 was symbolic
And they had no idea I didn't believe my own life
And no one can be like Jesus or Ru Paul
But we can strive

Been working hard to be self-aware (number one most self-aware)
It's too bad they don't really care (they don't care)
They'll always be your enemy
They like waking up the sheep as long as it's good for business
But if it's not, then don't you dare

I said I've come a long way to be forgotten
I've come a long way to get here
I haven't found a way that I can win in this world yet
But I can show you how to disappear

I said I need a new archetype
I heard the way John Lennon treated his wife
But when I'm laying up in bed
I found somebody in a book I read
We can talk about it later, too many people around

And they had no idea why the war was symbolic
And they had no idea about the violence inside
And there's never gonna be another big thief
Another tame impala
But still we gotta let the kid try
Come on and let the kid try
Mmmm let the kid try
