lirik lagu ethel cain - american teenager (10 minute version)

[verse 1]
grew up under yellow light on the street
putting too much faith in the make~believe
and another high school football team
the neighbor’s brother came home in a box
but he wanted to go, so maybe it was his fault
another red heart taken by the american dream

[pre~chorus]
and i feel it there
in the middle of the night
when the lights go out and i’m all alone again

[chorus]
say what you want, but say it like you mean it
with your fists for once, a long cold war
with your kids at the front
just give it one more day, then you’rе done
done
i do what i want, crying in the blеachers
and i said it was fun
i don’t need anything from anyone, it’s just not my year
but i’m all good out here

[verse 2]
sunday morning
hands over my knees in a room full of faces
i’m sorry if i sound off, but i was probably wasted
and didn’t feel so good
head full of whiskey but i always deliver
jesus, if you’re listening let me handle my liquor
and jesus, if you’re there, why do i feel alone in this room with you?
[pre~chorus]
and i feel it there
in the middle of the night
when the lights go out
but i’m still standing here

[chorus]
say what you want, but say it like you mean it
with your fists for once, a long cold war
with your kids at the front
just give it one more day, then you’re done
done
i do what i want, crying in the bleachers
and i said it was fun
i don’t need anything from anyone
it’s just not my year
but i’m all good out here

[chorus]
say what you want, but say it like you mean it
with your fist for once
a long cold war
with your kids at the front
just give it one more day, then you’re done
i do it for my daddy and i do it for dale
i’m doing what i want and d~mn, i’m doing it well
for me, for me
for me, for me
[guitar solo]

[chorus]
say what you want, but scream it like you mean it
with your fists for once, a never~ending war
with your sons at the front
just give it one more day, then you’re gone
gone
i do what i want, drowning in the bleachers
and i lied, it was fun
i don’t need anything from anyone, it’s just not my life
but i’m alright out here

[verse 3]
your daddy was born on july fourth back in the 60s, i have always been told that was independence day but i’m depending on you babe, and watch it fade like an old blue guitar, this american dream just ain’t there anymore (it’s never been), and i’ve been told in the back of your car to just listen and maybe i’ll hear it coming, but i haven’t heard nothing but the radio playing the same d~mn news from the day before, and you could just cruise along this countryside and this rugged path where there’s no right or wrong way to go just this i know, and jesus needs me home cause no one else will answer the phone or when i fall from heaven no one else will catch me but you

[verse 4]
so i drive, just drive, past rusted factories and fields of gold
searching for a sign, a story yet untold but so unforgettable
this land of promise, feels more like a fading photograph
and every politician’s speech just fuels my rising disbelief
they sell us dreams in gilded frames, while the cracks begin to show
but maybe in your eyes, a different seed will grow
maybe we can build a garden where hope can still take root
and find our own d~mn independence, bearing our own sweet fruit
[chorus]
say what you feel, but shout it like you mean it
with your heart for once, a silent war
with your daughters at the front
just give it one more night, then you’re through
through
i do what i can, fading in the bleachers
and i hoped it was fun
i don’t want anything from anyone, it’s just not my scene
but i’m okay out here

[verse 5]
grew up by a line as a fighter believe that they’re right and you’ll die here thinking it’s still the same as it always was but i cried for nights and days, and if there isn’t one i’ll make a way pledge my allegiance to freedom through violence

[verse 6]
moving out my faith to the bad news only being good ’cause i have to if these walls could talk, they’d tell me to leave so young, so much to fear are you there, god? save me, i hate it here just please don’t forget about me

[chorus]
say what you must, but belt it like you mean it
with your soul for once, a losing war
with your loved ones at the front
just give it one more hour, then you’re free
free
i do what i should, lost in the bleachers
and i wished it was fun
i don’t ask anything from anyone, it’s just not my way
but i’m fine out here

[verse 7]
the billboards scream of fortunes to be won
but all i see are battles never done
we’re p~wns in games we didn’t choose to play
just trying to survive another godd~mn day

[verse 8]
but even in this darkness, a spark remains
a fl!cker of defiance in these weary veins
i’ve been torn at the same seams before so i’ll give it another try
we’ll fight for something real, something to hold
and break the chains of stories bought and sold

[guitar solo ~ vocals]
now baby i bet i’m going a little crazy i’ve been waiting ’til morning, (morning) don’t wanna party baby, you wanna party and if you want money i’ll take you all the way  [vocalization]  [refrain] oh yeah, oh yeah alright, alright, alright you mourn it you mourn  it you party for another day

[chorus]
so say what you want, but say it like you mean it
with your fists for once, a long cold war
with your kids at the front
just give it one more day, then you’re done
done
i do what i want, crying in the bleachers
and i said it was fun
i don’t need anything from anyone, it’s just not my year
but i’m all good out here
i’m so good
i’m so good
i’m so good
but i’m just a girl who would’ve done something more if i could
i’m so good

[outro]
mmmm

mmm
ah, ah
ah, ah
mmmm
ah, ah
mmm
mm
ah, ah
