The song explores the contradictions inherent in American culture which places and promotes unattainable ideals for women to achiev...
[Verse 1]
I am light as a feather, I'm as stiff as a board
I pay attention to things that most people ignore
And I'm alright with the movies
That make jokes 'bout senseless cruelty, that's for sure
And I am built like a mother and a total machine
I feel for your every little issue, I know just what you mean
And I make light of the darkness
I've got sun in my motherfuckin' pocket, best believe
Yeah, you know me, I
[Chorus]
Forgive, and I forget
I know my age and I act like it
Got what you can't resist
I'm a perfect all-American
[Verse 2]
I am light as a feather, I'm as fresh as the air
Coca-Cola bottles that I only use to curl my hair
I got class and integrity
Just like a goddamn Kennedy, I swear
With love to spare, I
[Chorus]
Forgive and I forget
I know my age and I act like it
Got what you can't resist
I'm a perfect all-American bitch
With perfect all-American lips
And perfect all-American hips
I know my place
I know my place and this is it
[Bridge]
I don't get angry when I'm pissed
I'm the eternal optimist
I scream inside to deal with it, like, "Ah"
Like, "Ah" (Oh, my fucking God, yeah)
[Outro]
All the time
I'm grateful all the time
I'm sexy and I'm kind
I'm pretty when I cry
Oh, all the time
I'm grateful all the time (Grateful all the fucking time)
I'm sexy and I'm kind
I'm pretty when I cry

I’m most proud of the first track. It’s a concept that I’ve been trying to write for a really long time, and I think it’s really musically interesting too. I think it’s one of my best songs.

I’ve experienced a lot of emotional turmoil over having all these feelings of rage and dissatisfaction that I felt like I couldn’t express, especially in my job. I’ve always felt like: you can never admit it, be so grateful all the time, so many people want this position. And that causes a lot of re...
It’s one of my favourite songs I’ve ever written. I really love the lyrics of it and I think it expresses something that I’ve been trying to express since I was fifteen years old, this repressed anger and feeling of confusion or trying to be put into a box as a girl.

I was thinking about this today. We can cut it out if I’m not supposed to say it, but one of my favorite songs on the record is called ‘All-American...
I think my favorite song on GUTS is “all-american bitch.” That was a song that we made it and we were, like, ‘Oh okay, maybe this is what the record is.’ It’s sort of this song that I wrote really inspired by punk bands that I grew up listening to. It’s something that I’ve been trying to say, lyrica...
