American Boy Lyrics

Here we go I got something to tell ya,
The land of plenty is the land of privilege
For your blue-eyed culture-deprived American boy
You got your dicks in a twist and you're raising your fists
But your argument has been bought and paid for

American boy

So flex that corporate muscle with your media circle-jerks
While you sell out humanity
ADHD OCD social anxiety
It's money baby!

Hey!
You pushin' me
Hey!
I'm pushin' you
No rhyme or reason
Watch your televison

Frat boys and military toys
All I see is white noise
With your pussy collection and your simple minds,
I never knew tits could sell so many cars
And you fuckin' debutantes with your skin flicks,
What the fuck is the matter with you?
Gloss up your lips, Show us your tits man
All for your fifteen minutes of nothin'
I just gotta laugh at you,
I just gotta laugh man
Man-made manufactured pussycats
Hey don't fear me
Don't fear me I'm the little woman

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I know everyone's jumping on the anti-America bandwagon these days, so I doubt anyone will agree with me, but to put out a song like this which attacks millions of people based on their nationality and sex alone is just stupid.
