“American Made” is the 7th song on Fall Out Boy’s 2013 EP PAX•AM Days.
The song is essentially about the stages of life from being a child to adulthood where you wanted the time gone so that you could be older, but then regretted it once you got there.
[Verse 1]
When I was younger I couldn't wait for the days to pass
Now I know they'll never last
And I just want my childhood back
I just want my childhood dead
I-I just wanna take it back
[Chorus]
Cargo and despair
All American made
Let's see who burns the truest in the flame
Cargo and despair
All American made
Let's see who burns the truest in the flame, huh
[Verse 2]
When I was younger I couldn't wait for the days to pass
And now I know they'll never last
And I just want my childhood back
I just want my childhood dead
I-I just wanna take it back
[Chorus]
Cargo and despair
All American made
Let's see who burns the truest in the flame
[Spoken Outro]
Whoo! Fuckin' flames
