America In Your 20's Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Two blonde girls in a tennis match
And the one who hits the winner gets an urn of ashes from
Her late mother and a car loan she can't pay
From feeling cute with your gap teeth
'Til the last drunk calls you a field goal with pink cheeks
And now you've lost any glitter that you once made
[Chorus]
Is the party over?
Did tomorrow come too soon?
Is this what gettin' older is?
The more you know, the less you do
There's nothin' as serious or as funny
As America in your twenties
[Verse 2]
Twenty-six and an idiot
Eating microwave pizza for dinner, at least I've got
A white priest and a 2012 class ring
And though my heart is in Tеnnessee
Everyone from my town is еither dead or they're married, wow
James says there, they both mean the same thing
[Chorus]
Is the party over?
Did tomorrow come too soon?
Is this what gettin' older is?
You wake up in your father's shoes
It's gonna take your heart and your money
It's America in your, it's America in your twenties
Two blonde girls in a tennis match
And the one who hits the winner gets an urn of ashes from
Her late mother and a car loan she can't pay
From feeling cute with your gap teeth
'Til the last drunk calls you a field goal with pink cheeks
And now you've lost any glitter that you once made
[Chorus]
Is the party over?
Did tomorrow come too soon?
Is this what gettin' older is?
The more you know, the less you do
There's nothin' as serious or as funny
As America in your twenties
[Verse 2]
Twenty-six and an idiot
Eating microwave pizza for dinner, at least I've got
A white priest and a 2012 class ring
And though my heart is in Tеnnessee
Everyone from my town is еither dead or they're married, wow
James says there, they both mean the same thing
[Chorus]
Is the party over?
Did tomorrow come too soon?
Is this what gettin' older is?
You wake up in your father's shoes
It's gonna take your heart and your money
It's America in your, it's America in your twenties
[Bridge]
Trust a boy who says he knows you want it
And he'll be pull-out conscious
Nothin' more patriotic than that
Drive your Civic alone to a clinic
You and your morning sickness
They never taught this part in class
[Outro]
Nothing as serious or as funny
Everybody hates me, everybody loves me
It's kinda fucked to think that it's lucky
To be in America in your twenties
Trust a boy who says he knows you want it
And he'll be pull-out conscious
Nothin' more patriotic than that
Drive your Civic alone to a clinic
You and your morning sickness
They never taught this part in class
[Outro]
Nothing as serious or as funny
Everybody hates me, everybody loves me
It's kinda fucked to think that it's lucky
To be in America in your twenties
