I can keep a secret Hands all up my T-shirt You’re not from this neighborhood Where the sky is red Like a nosebleed Got a foreign whip Godspeed I’ll pray for you If you pray for me Cover me in roses Unamerican beauty Run your fingers through my hair Tell me I’m a star I got style Pharmaceutical smile And I’m living the fucking dream Unamerican beauty We got Jesus on the brain I can dance I can sing And money is king And I’m living the fucking dream Unamerican beauty Unamerican beauty Call me by my screen name We can call it foreplay The kids are not alright Wave your flag above me Or fly me out the country Let me be who I’m meant to be Where the sky is red Like a nosebleed I'm tryna find That new disease I’ll pray for you If you pray for me Cover me in roses Unamerican beauty Run your fingers through my hair Tell me I’m a star I got style Pharmaceutical smile And I’m living the fucking dream Unamerican beauty We got Jesus on the brain I can dance I can sing And money is king And I’m living the fucking dream Unamerican beauty Unamerican beauty We got the dreamers disease And this feeling is lethal Nowhere I’d rather be A sunny place for shady people Unamerican beauty Run your fingers through my hair Tell me I’m a star I got style Pharmaceutical smile And I’m living the fucking dream Unamerican beauty We got Jesus on the brain I can dance I can sing And money is king And I’m living the fucking dream Unamerican beauty Unamerican beauty

You always get what you want And you make it look so easy Tell me what it’s like Being happy If God is in the details I’m a skim reader The devil works hard I've got a fever Your sharp tongue just burst my bubble Now this flat earth is in trouble I just want to be in love I want us to love each other Glasses on now I see nuclear I hope that we see the new year Costs the world to get to space Burn your money Fan the flames You always get what you want And you make it look so easy Tell me what it’s like Being happy If God is in the details I’m a skim reader The devil works hard Now I've got a fever Burn it down, burn it down Burn it Burn it down, burn it down Burn it Burn it down, burn it down Red hot! Now we’re in trouble Running out, running out of excuses Here’s looking at you, kid Red hot! Now we’re in trouble Now we’re in trouble Now we’re in trouble No more horror for the kids On these dirty beaches Watermelon sugar low No more Georgia peaches If God is in the details I’m a skim reader The devil works hard And I’ve got a fever It’s a beautiful day For the end of the world It’s a red hot winter Hey! Burn it down, burn it down Burn it Burn it down, burn it down Burn it Burn it down, burn it down Red hot! Now we’re in trouble Running out, running out of excuses Here’s looking at you, kid Red hot! Now we’re in trouble Now we’re in trouble Now we’re in trouble Now we’re in trouble Now we’re in trouble Red hot! Now we’re in trouble It’s a beautiful day For the end of the world It’s a red hot winter Hey! It’s a beautiful day For the end of the world It’s a red hot winter Hey!

Girl next door Happy hardcore Looking for a real bad time Out the back door I’m the dark horse A semi-automatic smile If it's bad for me Then I want it If it's a tragedy Yeah I want it And if you lie to me Then you know that's how I like it cause Only like it cause Cause it really hurts I want to fall in love So someone can break my heart Make me your number one Then we can fall apart I know it sounds crazy, baby But I’m addicted to the pain I want to fall in love So there’s something to cry about I can see the tears falling down From Westlake Village To London Town Meet me on the Westside Meet me on the Westside Broken hearts forever La-la-la-la-la Something to cry about La-la-la-la-la Something to cry about I've been up all night Been out of my mind Waiting for the world to end Filling up my glass And drying my eyes Cheers to the sadness If it's bad for me Then I want it If it's a tragedy Yeah I want it And if you lie to me Then you know that's how I like it cause Only like it cause Cause it really hurts I want to fall in love So someone can break my heart Make me your number one Then we can fall apart I know it sounds crazy, baby But I’m addicted to the pain I want to fall in love So there’s something to cry about I can see the tears falling down From Westlake Village To London Town Meet me on the Eastside Roses on the bedside This won’t last forever La-la-la-la-la Something to cry about La-la-la-la-la Something to cry about I know it sounds crazy, baby Yeah I know it sounds crazy, baby Give me something to cry about

And baby how far will you go? Maybe I should become A starfucker, starfucker Skin in the game You won’t forget my name Starfucker But I’m a good good girl In a bad man’s world Watch me become A starfucker, starfucker Skin in the game You won’t forget my name Starfucker But I’m a good good girl In a bad man’s world Watch me become Watch me become Watch me become Watch me become You're a star and I know that it kills you Look at how you've changed Cause they don’t see what you do And now you've become A starfucker A starfucker, starfucker Skin in the game You won’t forget my name Starfucker But I’m a good good girl In a bad man’s world Watch me become Watch me become Watch me become Watch me become

Every single day that I'm alive I'm just happy I survived To tell the tale Of you and I I learned the hard way ‘What is love?’ A brother joined by blood Who I don't see anymore And every time you spoke Every single word Every syllable heard Was a twist of the knife I’d give back As good as I got But I never felt better Only more lost But I still think... Everything's gonna be fine Everything's gonna be fine Everything's gonna be fine Everything's gonna be fine Felt like everyone had picked your side Like I was ostracized But it's been some time And I’ve realized Maybe you felt the same as me No fruit left on the trees But seasons change And so did we But everything's gonna be fine Everything's gonna be fine Everything's gonna be fine Everything's gonna be fine Time takes the sting away But the rest of it stays So watch what you say To the ones that you love Time takes the sting away But the rest of it stays So watch what you say To the one that you love Everything's gonna be fine Everything's gonna be fine Everything's gonna be fine Everything's gonna be fine Everything's gonna be fine Everything's gonna be fine Everything's gonna be fine Everything's gonna be fine

sweetheart 03:33
You used to call me sweetheart It was different when we first met, fast car With your hand on my headrest, wow Your voice was my favorite sound But now you say you miss me Haven’t seen you in a while Since you did what you said you would never do to me Click click bang bang This sweetheart ain’t so sweet Broken heart In a skintight black dress I can look good through the madness I don’t play nice like I did before, before You had me on a leash and you liked that These puppy dog eyes now bite back I don’t play nice like I did before, before It all went up in flames You used to call me sweetheart It was different when we first met, fast car With your hand on my headrest, wow Your voice was my favorite sound But now you say you miss me Haven’t seen you in a while Since you did what you said you would never do to me Click click bang bang This sweetheart ain’t so sweet You would drive and I would ride shotgun But now it’s just me, I’ve become The only one behind the wheel Since it all went up in flames And I won’t let someone new make your old mistakes On me On me You used to call me sweetheart It was different when we first met, fast car With your hand on my headrest, wow Your voice was my favorite sound But now you say you miss me Haven’t seen you in a while Since you did what you said you would never do to me Click click bang bang This sweetheart ain’t so sweet Na na na na Na na na na Na na na now you’re dead to me Na na na na Na na na na Na na na now you’re dead to me

Sky rise, broken elevator Fell in love at the bodega Calling 911, hello operator There’s a girl on the 3rd floor Can you come and save her From the suburbs, to the city Yeah it changed me Come to my one bedroom apartment There’s only one thing we can do So kiss me while we listen To the gunshots in the distance Let this siren sing a pretty song for you I don’t know the feeling of silence anymore Women and babies are crying next door From the gates To the city Yeah it’s changed me Come to my one bedroom apartment There’s only one thing we can do I’ll show you what you’re missing As we slow dance in the kitchen Let this siren sing a pretty song for you I'm not young enough to know everything I'm not young enough to know everything I'm not young enough to know everything I'm not young enough to know everything One bedroom apartment There’s only one thing we can do So kiss me while we listen To the gunshots in the distance Let this siren sing a pretty song for you I'm not young enough to know everything I'm not young enough to know everything I'm not young enough to know everything I'm not young enough to know everything

Loudmouth Rock and roll Smoking with the boys before school You were, you were in control And if it felt nice You wouldn’t think twice But a couple trips Around the sun Your body don’t look the same anymore And I wish I could tell you Don’t let them Don’t let them change you Don’t let them change you, babygirl Cause you know there’s no one like you In this big bad world Don’t listen to them Just look at this place You’ll never be free In the USA So come out tonight And dance with me Cause you’re right where You’re meant to be Different name on your fake ID You knew yourself better then, ironically You spoke your mind Cause it ain’t that deep But now you take this stupid life so seriously And a couple trips around the sun Your mind, it don’t think the same anymore And I wish I could tell you Don’t let them Don’t let them change you Don’t let them change you, babygirl Cause you know there’s no one like you In this big bad world Don’t listen to them Just look at this place You’ll never be free In the USA So come out tonight And dance with me Cause you’re right where You’re meant to be Don’t let them Don’t let them change you Don’t let them change you, babygirl Cause you know there’s no one like you In this big bad world Don’t listen to them Just look at this place You’ll never be free Anyway So come out tonight And dance with me Cause I’m right where Cause I’m right where I’m meant to be

I never liked Sundays But I don’t know what day it is When I’m driving It’s getting late, but I’ll go a little further You know I I never think about that time when My house burned down But I do when I’m driving I know it’s strange but I miss that day Ashes falling from the sky in LA I’ve made some mistakes, but nothing’s forever And when tomorrow comes and I’m not where you left me Just know that I’ll be Driving I'll be driving Got my mind on repeat On fake leather seats I’m driving I drove past the gun range And I saw a shooting star Through the glass of my beat-up car I know it’s late, but I’ll go a little further Don't ask me what I wished for You shouldn't even bother Cause I’d have to kill you And I don't want to deal with that right now Lashes falling from my eyes, it’s okay I’ve made some mistakes but nothing’s forever And when tomorrow comes and I’m not where you left me Just know that I’ll be Driving I’ll be driving And this seat belt is the closest I’ve felt to Real arms around me Ashes falling from the sky in LA I’ve made some mistakes, but nothing, no nothing’s forever If tomorrow comes and I’m not where you left me Just know that I’ll be Decker Canyon To PCH I’ve made mistakes all over town The friend I made at the liquor store I wonder how he's doing now I think I’ll keep this car forever The stereo sounds so fucking good Don't know when I’ll be arriving So I’ll keep on driving
