Why don't you rob me or stab me,
Kill me or drown me, or throw me under a bus?
Kiss me then leave me
Hug me then mug me
Love me then break it off?
It's not that you're blind
But you just can't see
The things around me that won't let me be
Wake me up, I'm an American dreamer
Someone please rob me or stab me,
Hang me or drown me
Or throw me under a bus
Why don't you incarcerate me,
Sedate me, then rape me
With a cocktail of your ideals?
Convince me, blindfold me
Deceive me, then mold me
Into a mindless fucking follower
It's not that you're blind
But you just can't see
The things around me that won't let me be
Wake me up, I'm an American dreamer
Someone please rob me or stab me,
Hang me or drown me
Or throw me under a bus
When I was only thirteen I met you in a dream
Now I wanna be left alone
'Cause I'm cracking at the seams
'Cause I couldn't make you see
That I could never just call you home
I'm persuadable, stupid, gullible
Just hit me with your best shot
Tell me colorful lies, sugar coated trite
You barely have to try at all
