I'm a dope Blowing smoke at the TV screen Lost all hope Based on the things I've seen I'm a man content For the sake of argument Underneath each added straw Oh, I feel so American Spray paint me gold Pull my face up to the blinds I'm a family ghost you'll You'll never leave behind You'll never leave behind I want to exist where the misfit fits I want to have some purpose I believe what she believes I believe my children When the lights go off There's no applause Condescending to the hideous thought Imprisoned in my lonely skin I feel so American Spray paint me gold Pull my face up to the blinds I'm a family ghost you'll You'll never leave behind You'll never leave behind Time will tell this story again Different clothes than they wore back then Digging holes and filling them in I feel so American Spray paint me gold Pull my face up to the blinds I'm a family ghost you'll You'll never leave behind You'll never leave behind You'll never leave behind
