lyrics

There’s a small town world yeah I think her name’s America
And there’s a small town girl yeah I think her name’s America
She drinks it with excitement
The promise of enlightenment
She wants a jager bomb
Shot of dissonance
Strip malls lake bars line our innocence

I’m shouting out Cleveland
They’re gonna slit your soul
We're the broken toy towns off highway shores
Cloaked in ambition High Life pouring down

There’s a prayer. FIGHT! Hurricane
Its coursing through the Malls
Welcome the suicide king on a Saturday night
Pull out the Jack drunk drive it
red light red light

You don't know, do you? No you don't know
You don't know, do you? No you don't know
You don't know, do you? No you don't know
American Bonfire yeah

Ads are all translation
We got youth between the lines
Its makeshift boats off coastal divides
Broke my phone on my 80s idols

I wanna see you on Sunday
We'll burn the last Thoreau
We’re all suicide kings on a Saturday night
Pull out the Jack drunk drive it
Red light red light

It's these deep suburban nights
Where sex is all we drive
In our parents cars under shiny stars
Tail light brigades and empty lots

Maybe we’ll see you Sunday
We’re all American hungry
Biting bones Tuesdays gone
No sense to dream I already woke up

You don't know where you've been
You never could’ve seen it
You don't know where you've been
You never could’ve seen it
