[Verse 1]
Sometimes I just worry about if they will let me just be human
Sometimes I worry about if I am gonna go and lose it
You can not tell me how to feel, because I know what's fake and real
The world just tries to gaslight me, but I make fuckin' music
I don't want them to kill my friends or kill me too
I almost died three days ago, ain't nothin' motherfuckin' new
I get upset when all I see is injustice in front of me
America is so damn gone and all I want is room to breathe
[Chorus]
America is going backwards
And I just need somewhere I can be
They could try to take away our power
But they're not gettin' shit from me, no
America is going backwards
But I can't lose myself again
America is going backwards
I'll fight it off 'til I turn red
[Verse 2]
We should've done better as a nation
And now my world is all messed up
Only one out of ten affected
They try to kill us, genocide today
But I won't let them take it all away
I gotta put all of my scars away, yuh
I can't wait 'till I celebrate and get it done
I'm locked inside this cage, I'm barely even twenty-one
I'll let you know just how I feel, 'cause I know what is fake and real
I need the pills and all the thrills so I don't fuckin' kill myself
[Chorus]
America is going backwards
And I just need somewhere I can be
They could try to take away our power
But they're not gettin' shit from me, no
America is going backwards
But I can't lose myself again
America is going backwards
I'll fight it off 'til I turn red
[Bridge]
I need to vent, I need to now
I need to quench my fuckin' doubt
I see the happy people now
They have no clue what they've done now
I need them all to understand
That we're going Nazi across the land
We are not safe, we need to live
And if they kill us, it's on them
[Chorus]
America is going backwards
And I just need somewhere I can be
They could try to take away our power
But they're not gettin' shit from me, no
America is going backwards
But I can't lose myself again
America is going backwards
I'll fight it off 'til I turn red
[Post-Chorus]
I need to vent, I need to now
I need to find my fuckin' doubt
I'll bounce around from house to house
And now I'll find myself right now
[Refrain]
If they would let me just be human
Sometimes I worry about if I am gonna go and lose it
Not tell me how to feel, because I know what's fake and real
The world just tries to gaslight me, but I make fuckin' music
