Ehh, I randomly came up with this tonight. Haven't written a song in a long time. Also, I expect the filter to do its magic. So... yeah.
She looks at you
You look away
She can stop a heart
With one glance
With one sigh
With one word
Or one smile
I can't believe what monster we've created
These American girls are feeding off of lies we've made up
Who the Algernon ever made up fairytales?
Who created this perception of females?
They live off of what we think is 'love'
Tell me, how many guys has she messed up?
She's my American girl
She loved me for a month
Then she found a new guy
She's my American girl
All I ever wanted was just to be liked
By this whore
She's my American girl
She Algernoned up my life and I can't let her go in my mind
She's my American girl
Why the Algernon did I ever fall for that whore?
I can't believe how this turned out
We're churning out a generation of MySpace whores
Tell me how, tell me how,
Many guys have you had,
On your top friend space this month?
My American girl made me feel so good
But now she makes me die inside
She sucked the life from me when she said
She was she was over me
She's my American girl
She Algernoned up my life and I can't let her go in my mind
She's my American girl
Why the Algernon did I ever fall for that whore?
Why does American love
Always have to be so Algernoned up?
Why do all the love movies
Always have to be so jacked up?
She's my American girl
She Algernoned up my life and I can't let her go in my mind
She's my American girl
Why the Algernon did I ever fall for that whore?
Take a picture with your brand new man
Maybe show a little tongue
I don't need to see that I'm missing out
I just feel for him, 'cause he'll just get hurt
She's his American girl
She'll Algernon up his life just like she did mine
She's his American girl
Why the Algernon do we keep falling for all these whores?
In my opinion, reading lyrics really tones down the effect of the potential song, since there's no frame of reference for the beat. However, these are significantly better than the Algernon I hear on 101.9.
The word filter transforms this from "angst" to "lol". I feel this needs to be said.
Great lyrics. One might say it sounds emo, but it actually contains a message that everyone should listen to.
