Every year it's the same thing, hates all the teachers
Juvenile delinquent smoking weed on the bleachers
Her boyfriend's a stalker, he gets off on torture
But if she ever left him he'd be forced to nah, nah, no wait
What's the recipe? Hate-induced
Got a grudge-living slut smudge, way too cute
Black eyeliner, lip-liner, combat boots
Middle finger up to the world, that American girl
Lovesick hot chick, long-lost, innocent
Stuck in the middle of beautiful, average
Teenage parenting, big dreams, navel rings
Love that American girl
Latin-American, Afro-American, Chinese
You and me, we're all American girls
I'm your American girl (yeah)
I'm your American girl, we're all American girls
Rage against the system, prescription drug victim
Punk rock and flower boss and dealing with depression
Ran away, took the train track, month supply of Prozac
Her lover didn't love her at all
The sound of silence drowning out the sirens
Cheap booze and cigarettes, the best in all the contracts
Tattoos paint the picture, a rebel save the lecture
Your daughter is a rolling stone, American girl to the bone
Lovesick hot chick, long-lost, innocent
Stuck in the middle of beautiful, average
Teenage parenting, big dreams, navel rings
Love that American girl (American girl)
Latin-American, Afro-American, Chinese
You and me, we're all American girls
I'm your American girl (yeah)
All she ever really wanted was
For someone to love her, someone she could love
But instead she got some perv in a tie and a shirt
Breathing heavy on the phone from work, you jerk
All she ever really wanted to be
Was the whipped cream on top of the American dream
But instead she's not, the tears all the truth and it hurts
And what's worse, she's only happy in spurts
Lovesick hot chick, long-lost, innocent
Stuck in the middle of beautiful, average
Teenage parenting, big dreams, navel rings
Love that American girl
Latin-American, Afro-American, Chinese
You and me, we're all American girls
I'm your American girl (yeah)
