"America!" lyrics

"America!"

I can't keep up with the Kardashians, they're back again
My generations out of hope, but I keep tapping in
I downward spiral while my friends are going viral
And I can't get my angles right

I'm just a pixelated version of something I despise
Pour me some pessimistic Kool-Aid, lets get radicalized

We're going down, down
And it's gonna hurt
It's getting too loud
My brain's in the dirt
I'm thinking I need some space, I need some space
I need some place I can breathe in now, now
'Cause it's lonely in America

Xanax bars and Adderall, the kids are all depressed
Everybody tried to warn 'em, now they're underneath their desks
Annie, get your gun, ain't it fun to be young and afraid
Every single day?

I put my head into the metal, life is better online
I thought that we could live forever, but we're all out of time

We're going down, down
And it's gonna hurt
It's getting too loud
My brain's in the dirt
I'm thinking I need some space, I need some space
I need some place I can breathe in now, now
'Cause it's lonely in America

Crypto bro economists and all your favorite narcissists
Sitting down for dinner while we Postmate the apocalypse
Barney Rubble, we're in trouble
Ben Shapiro, burst my bubble
Put my apathy on shuffle
Play that song again

We're going down (Down), down (Down)
And it's gonna hurt (It's gonna hurt)
It's getting too (Too) loud (Loud)
My brain's in the dirt (My brain's in the dirty)
I'm thinking I need some space, I need some space
I need some place I can breathe in now (Now), now (Now)
'Cause it's lonely in America

Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, woo
Lonely in America
(Place I can breathe in)
Oh yeah, alright
We're going down, down, we're going down
