American Exceptionalism Songtext
von the dead ringers

Tried to screw my head back on
But it seems the threads have stripped
And so I deemed the task unworthy
And decided not to finish it
Instead I took the pieces
And I stuffed them in a box
Shut the lid, fastened the lock
And told everyone the key was lost

My worst intentions are harmless
Be brutally honest
Is it starting over again
Front row center for a car wreck
Are we having fun yet
This week′s been a really long year


Thoughts I'd take a walk outside
So I stepped into the street
To my surprise nobody noticed
The hole left where my head should be
Apparently the rate of missing heads
Are going up
We just treat it with a shrug
Accept your fate, you′re done
The system's fucked

My worst intentions are harmless
Be brutally honest
Is it starting over again
Front row center for a car wreck
Are we having fun yet
This week's been a really long year

And if I drink too much
I′m not self medicating
Just pulling myself up
By the bootstraps that you gave me
I should sober up
And stop self deprecating
Maybe forgive the gods
For the form in which they made me
And when I′ve had enough
Well I'll just fucking fake it
I refuse to give you the satisfaction
Of knowing I didn′t make it


My worst intentions are harmless
Be brutally honest
Is it starting over again
Front row center for a car wreck
Are we having fun yet
This week's been a really long year

My worst intentions are harmless
Be brutally honest
Is it starting over again
Front row center for a car wreck
Are we having fun yet
This week′s been a really long year

My worst intentions are harmless
Be brutally honest
Is it starting over again
Front row center for a car wreck
Are we having fun yet
This week's been a really long year
