American Dream
For the longest time
We wonder
What it is that's out there
Forced into the world
I am new
I am young
Dreaming off of the ground
My best days are filled with fear
Fantasies filled with song
Can't just find the tune
It's hard for an introvert to find their place
The world is bigger than I'll ever be
"I am fucking crazy, but I am free"
Del Rey praises the country America used to be
Presley embodies it
We all want it and we all search for it
Emotion is a hidden thing
Old Hollywood, vintage esthetic
Young women yearn for it
Momma and Daddy want you to be good
But I just want life to be art,
A film reel, an old vinyl record
Sinatra is king, Monroe is Queen
Past-tense beauty
To travel the open road
And to never let me go
Somebody who wants love
Somebody who wants fame
There is no rhyme
No reason
We are all human
We take care of business
The best we can
With all we should
We hold and love
We pray and we sing
We follow the road
We do what we need
And what we want
We don't worry about it
"I am fucking crazy, but I am free"
