LYRICS
I grew up rich
and my daddy did too
But we’re never happy
in fact if you knew
that his grandpa killed himself
in the garage
and four of us tried
but we didn’t get far
my aunt stabbed her brother
deep in the neck
and then they committed her
schizophrenic
she was lobotomized
for being free
for being dangerous
for what she’d seen
I can tell you I’m unclean
All my dreams end violently
How’d you get so close to me?
Hold me now I’ll never leave
Two anorexic
and two just got clean
and we never talk about
what it all means
cuz this is the goddamn
American Dream
a lawyer, a banker
a couple more drinks
cuz somebody’s daddy
way back in the day
made boatloads of money
from owning slaves
I can tell you I’m unclean
All my dreams end violently
How’d you get so close to me?
Hold me now I’ll never leave
And so many artists
have a trust to their name
and nobody talks
and it all stays the same
we fight with each other
for the purest of all
looks a lot like the whiteness
back when daddy was born
and the worst of it all
is that art saved my life
and the money did too
yeah the money was nice
cuz is bought me a shrink
and a warm place to live
and I bought a guitar
back when I was a kid
back when I was a kid
back when I was a kid
back when I was a kid
back when I was a kid
back when I was a kid
back when I was a kid
back when I was a kid
back when I was a kid
back when I was a kid
back when I was a kid
back when I was a kid
back when I was a kid
