"Ritalin (Born In America)" lyrics

"Ritalin (Born In America)"

I was born in America but I feel like I was raised on Mars
No matter how hard I try, I still feel like I'm an alien cause
I was taught at a private school, my parents were scared of what I'd do
If I were bullied, would I one day snap and bring drugs and guns, guns, guns, guns to school

If I told you once, I told you too many times
I've got a real short temper and I'm out of my mind
Should've been medicated when I was young
But my mom chose to pray instead of whoring me out
I can't shake the feeling that I'm falling apart
And I know I've been told I've got fire in my heart
But the world it brings me down
I'm not sure how much more I can take

I see a light at the end of the tunnel
I see the light at the end of the tunnel
I see a light at the end of the tunnel
I see the light at the end of the tunnel

I was born in a hospital and I'll die in a hospital bed
Alone and happy, will my kids be there, will they be too busy?

You're as fickle as you've ever been
You'll be gone just as soon as the trend ends
I'll be playing in front of ten drunk fans
God willing

Social media, you know you're breaking my heart
I got a hundred thousand people telling me all their thoughts
And it's not that I can't relate
I can't reply to each and every comment made
We're never good enough, no matter how hard we try
There's always a better band, better song, make up your mind
Do you love us for who we are
Or our skinny jeans and tattooed arms

I see a light at the end of the tunnel
I see the light at the end of the tunnel
I see a light at the end of the tunnel
I see the light at the end of the tunnel

I see a light at the end of the tunnel
Whoa-oh whoa-oh whoa-oh
I see a light at the end of the tunnel
Whoa-oh whoa-oh whoa-oh

I was born in America
I will die in a hospital

I see a light at the end of the tunnel
I was born in America
I see a light at the end of the tunnel

I see a light at the end of the tunnel
I see the light at the end of the tunnel
I see a light at the end of the tunnel

I was born in America
I will die in a hospital
Don't let me go
I was born in America
Don't let me go
I will die in a hospital
