gelsey bell - american girl lyrics
our american girl
is taught not to love
just to bleed into her
cup of humble dressings
get over yourself
give me a f-cking break
maybe you’ll start feeling better
when you’re decent to people
and our american girl
is taught to grow wolf fangs
and to bite into the other girls
when they get out of line
i guess i’m getting out of line
and she cries upstairs
with nothing to think about
but all the wrongs against her
she cries upstairs
with nothing to think about
but all the wrongs against her
and when her fairy godmother comes
yes, her fairy godmother comes and says
get over yourself
give me a f-cking break
maybe you’ll start feeling better
when you’re decent to people
oh, to people
and she’s taught not to care if someone is hurt
she’s taught that she’s a victim of her place
she’s taught that cruelty is a necessity of survival
she’s taught to be blind to her own hypocrisy
she’s taught to be silent when the truth hurts
she’s taught that only a man can save her
oh, but not to trust the men
’cause they just don’t get it
and our american girl
she bleeds into her beggars mug
and let’s her pain be her pleasure
and i, i bled into her beggars mug
and my pain was her pleasure
and his pain will be her pleasure
yeah, our pain is her pleasure
and our american girl
gets what’s handed to her
controls her body by scarring it
controls her friends by betraying them
controls her lovers by leaving them
controls her health by being sick
controls her love by being numb
controls her mood with little pills
controls her thoughts with
stories about how she’s done
everything she could to make it better
but the wound won’t heal
and the crack won’t mend
though it still won’t f-cking break
and she cries upstairs
with nothing to think about
but all the wrongs against her
she cries upstairs
with nothing to think about
but all the wrongs against her
and when i ask her why she stabbed this knife in my back
and then stands there watching me scream
why do you just stand there watching me scream?
she says
i’m taught not to care if someone is hurt
i’m taught that i’m a victim of my place
i’m taught that cruelty is a necessity of survival
i’m taught to be blind to my own hypocrisy
i’m taught to be silent when the truth hurts
i’m taught that only a man can save me
so i’m gonna take the men
and i’ll do anything
and our american girl
gets what’s handed to her
she let’s her pain be her pleasure
and i, i got to hand it to her
she made my pain her pleasure
and his pain will be her pleasure
yeah, our pain is her pleasure
and she’s taught not to take responsibility
for letting herself learn
to not take responsibility
for not fighting to think
for not struggling to love
get over yourself
give me a f-cking break
maybe you’ll start feeling better
when you’re decent to people
