About

The lead single from Father John Misty’s sophomore album, I Love You, Honeybear (2014), is indebted to Bruce Springsteen’s seminal track “Born in the U.S.A.”, both in title and harsh critique of middle-class American life, but through apathy instead of Springsteen’s “spiritual crisis.”

The phrase “...

Bored in the USA Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How many people rise and say
"My brain's so awfully glad to be here for yet another mindless day
Now, I've got all morning to obsessively accrue
A small nation of meaningful objects and they've gotta represent me too
By this afternoon, I'll live in debt
And by tomorrow, be replaced by children?"

[Verse 2]
How many people rise and think
"Oh good, the stranger's body's still here, our arrangement hasn't changed
Now, I've got a lifetime to consider all the ways
I grow more disappointing to you
As my beauty warps and fades
And I suspect you feel the same
When I was young, I dreamt of a passionate obligation to a roommate?"

[Pre-Chorus]
Is this the part where I get all I ever wanted?
Who said that?

[Chorus 1]

[Bridge]

And a subprime loan on a craftsman home
Keep my prescriptions filled
And now I can't get off
But I can kind of deal
Oh, with being

[Chorus 2]
Bored in the USA
Oh, just a little bored in the USA
Save me, President Jesus
I'm bored in the USA
How did it happen?
Bored in the USA
