[Verse 1]
Winter gettin' colder, summer gettin' warmer
Tidal waves coming 'cross the Mexican border
Buy it by the gallon, it's cheaper by the barrel
Just don't get busted singing Christmas carols
[Chorus]
That's us, that's right
Gotta love this American life
Both ends of the ozone burning
Funny how the world keeps turning
Look ma, no hands
I love this American life
Gotta love this American life
That's right
[Verse 2]
Mama gets her rocks off watching Desperate Housewives
Daddy works his ass off paying for the good life
Kids on the YouTube, learning how to be cool
Living in a cruel world, pays to be a mean girl
[Chorus]
That's us, that's right
Gotta love this American life
Both ends of the ozone burning
Funny how the world keeps turning
Look ma, no hands
I love this American life
You gotta love this American life
That's right
[Bridge]
Poor little infamous America's down
She gained five pounds and lost her crown
Quick fix plastic surgical antidote
Got herself a record deal, can't even sing a note
Wife was getting bigger, Jesus getting smaller
Spill a cup of coffee, make a million dollars
Customs caught him often with an aerosol can
If the shoe don't fit, the fit's gonna hit the shan
[Chorus]
That's us, that's right
Gotta love this American life
Both ends of the ozone burning
Funny how the world keeps turning
Hot dog, hot damn
I love this American life
Gotta love this American life
That's right
Come on
