American River is life from the perspective of a teenager who is sick of the routine of the day-to-day. They take pride in distinguishing themselves of the other teenagers (who all act the same, like zombies) because they realize that they’re all living the same numb, pre-made life
[Verse 1]
Brains missing, we are the Walking Dead
Everyone parties and worries about getting head
Stick to plastic chairs towards the summer
Not to sound too Californian, but damn that’s a bummer
[Pre-Chorus]
I got hit in the face
For all my classes I am so late
Hit with a dodgeball
Now I’m crying in a bathroom stall
[Chorus]
Wake up every morning on the wrong side
That goddamn, dreaded American River Drive
Hold my head high
Think for yourself, take some pride
[Verse 2]
Before school smoke weed on the levy
After school smoke weed on the levy
My books are heavy, no I'm not ready no
Alarm goes off it gets thrown
[Pre-Chorus]
I got hit in the face
For all my classes I am so late
Hit with a dodgeball
Now I’m crying in a bathroom stall
[Chorus]
Wake up every morning on the wrong side
That goddamn, dreaded American River Drive
Hold my head high
Think for yourself, take some pride
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
Wake up every morning on the wrong side
That goddamn, dreaded American River Drive
Hold my head high
Think for yourself, take some pride
Wake up every morning on the wrong side
That goddamn, dreaded American River Drive
Hold my head high
Think for yourself, take some pride
