babe, i’m not going, not if you ask me nice
i don’t feel social, i don’t feel welcome at all
where’s it at, where are you taking us
who is that, i don’t know anyone
better half, where are you taking us
who is that, why did i come

babe you’re not thinking, and you’re not at all that fun
your group of friends like saying nothing and saying it twice
out all night, sweetheart i hate this, you’re
acting, i don’t know, like a fucking american
every time, i have regretted it
i feel like a marionette

god, i don’t trust you, not after all these years
butter me up so you can roast me alive
better half, or total embarrassment
better off being alone again
better half, or total embarrassment
we’re better off separated

babe you’re not thinking, babe you’re not thinking
acting like fucking americans
can you tell, i hate who i play in this
you and i, fucking americans
you and i, is this all there is

god, i don’t trust you, god i don’t trust you
why would i trust you, why would i trust you
acting like anyone benefits
you and i, rot in our sunday best
acting like a beacon of relevance
you and i, are fucking american

and i hate us
i hate it all

the bedroom where you held me in the morning, it was sanctioned now you’re always doing some other thing and i idle, anxious could you find the patience to listen to me …
