Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince - Nick Harris

You know I adore you I'm crazier for you Than I was at 16 Lost in a film scene Waving homecoming queens Marching band playing I'm lost in the lights American glory Faded before me Now I'm feeling hopeless Ripped up my prom dress Running through rose thorns I saw the scoreboard And ran for my life No cameras catch my pageant smile I counted days, I counted miles To see you there, to see you there It's been a long time coming, but It's you and me That's my whole world They whisper in the hallway, "She's a bad, bad girl" (okay) The whole school is rolling fake dice You play stupid games You win stupid prizes It's you and me There's nothing like this Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (okay) We're so sad, we paint the town blue Voted most likely to run away with you My team is losing Battered and bruising I see the high fives Between the bad guys Leave with my head hung You are the only one Who seems to care American stories Burning before me I'm feeling helpless The damsels are depressed Boys will be boys then Where are the wise men? Darling, I'm scared No cameras catch my muffled cries I counted days, I counted miles To see you there, to see you there And now the storm is coming, but It's you and me That's my whole world They whisper in the hallway, "She's a bad, bad girl" (okay) The whole school is rolling fake dice You play stupid games You win stupid prizes It's you and me There's nothing like this Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (okay) We're so sad, we paint the town blue Voted most likely to run away with you And I don't want you to (go) I don't really wanna (fight) 'Cause nobody's gonna (win) I think you should come home And I don't want you to (go) I don't really wanna (fight) 'Cause nobody's gonna (win) I think you should come home And I don't want you to (go) I don't really wanna (fight) 'Cause nobody's gonna (win) I just think you should know And I'll never let you (go) 'Cause I know this is a (fight) That someday we're gonna (win) It's you and me That's my whole world They whisper in the hallway, "She's a bad, bad girl" Oh, I just thought you should know You should know It's you and me There's nothing like this (like this) Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (okay) We're so sad, we paint the town blue (paint it blue) Voted most likely to run away with you And I don't want you to (go) I don't really wanna (fight) 'Cause nobody's gonna (win) I think you should come home And I'll never let you (go) 'Cause I know this is a (fight) That one day we're gonna (win) I just think you should know It's you and me That's my whole world They whisper in the hallway, "She's a bad, bad girl" "She's a bad, bad girl"

It keeps me awake, the look on your face The moment you heard the news You're screaming inside, and frozen in time You did all that you could do The game was rigged, the ref got tricked The wrong ones think they're right You were outnumbered, this time But only the young Only the young Only the young Only the young can run Can run, so run and run and run So everyday now, you brace for the sound You've only heard on TV You go to class, scared, wondering where The best hiding spot would be And the big bad man and his big bad clan Their hands are stained with red Oh, how quickly they forget They aren't gonna help us Too busy helping themselves They aren't gonna change this We gotta do it ourselves They think that it's over But it's just begun Only one thing can save us Only the young (Only the young) Only the young (Only the young) Only the young (Only the young) Only the young Only the young (Only the young) Only the young (Only the young) Only the young (Only the young) Only the young Only the young (Don't say you're too tired to fight) Only the young (It's just a matter of time) Only the young (Up there's the finish line) Only the young can run Don't say you're too tired to fight It's just a matter of time (Can run) Up there's the finish line So run and run and run Don't say you're too tired to fight It's just a matter of time (So run) Up there's the finish line And run and run and run Only the young Only the young Only the young

Well, I'd like to tell you all about my dream, it's a place Where strip malls abound and diversion's mere moments away Where culture's defined By the ones least refined And you'll be left behind If you don't fit in It's all distorted In Americana my way Well, fuck you! Well, my dream has come true My vision has come true Now give me my cable, fast food, four-by's, tat's right away I want it right now 'cause my ge-generation don't like to wait My future's determined By thieves, thugs, and vermin It's quite an excursion But it's okay Everything's backwards In Americana my way Well, fuck you! Well, my dream has come true My vision has come true Yeah, it's all coming true I'm a product Of my environment So don't blame me, I just work here But I wanna fuck it up My rights are denied By those least qualified Trading profit for pride But it's okay Everything's backwards In Americana my way Well, fuck you! My nightmare has come true My nightmare has come true Yeah, it's all coming true Yeah, it's all coming true
