Verse:

Ab Ab
I live under a rock with a blacklight
Fm Fm
I'm a dumb pop star in my own right
Ab Ab
Started life at age 15, got ahead with fake IDs
C# C#
If you're with me

Ab Ab
Sold my soul to the man with a handshake
Fm Fm
Lost control but I don't think it's too late
Ab Ab
We're dying young on broadcast news
Fm Fm
Forever 21 is cool if I make it


Pre-Chorus:

D# D#
Girls, let's put on all of our clothes


Chorus:

Ab Ab
I don't wanna be like American kids
Fm Fm
I am not on drugs and I've never been
C# C#
I don't care about your party, I belong to nobody

Ab Ab
I don't wanna be like American kids
Fm Fm
Drugs don't work like they did for my parents
C# C#
I'm not down with the new hit
D# D# Ab Ab
Cause today I just don't get American kids


Verse:

Ab Ab
Last time I told mom that 'I love you'
Fm Fm
Was the last time I ate food from a drive-through
Ab Ab
It never happened like they say
Fm Fm
I think my father may be gay but I don't know

Ab Ab
So I burned all my shit in a bonfire
Fm Fm
All my teen regrets were a trip wire
Ab Ab
I should be everything you hate
Fm Fm
I should be higher now than space but I'm static

D# D#
Boys, aren't even boys anymore

Ab Ab
I don't wanna be like American kids

I am not on drugs and I've never been

I don't care about your party, I belong to nobody

Ab Ab
I don't wanna be like American kids
Fm Fm
Drugs don't work like they did for my parents
C# C#
I'm not down with the new hit
D# D# Ab Ab
Cause today I just don't get American kids

Liberty isn't cheap and it ain't free

I'm a millennial blame it all on me
