American Nightmare Lyrics

I'm not feelin so right

Everything I say is on the cue-card tonight

Healthy being so vulnerable

'Til a knife hits your face

And an ambulance is miles away

An ambulance is miles away

I can't help looking down

Life is a tight wire, and I am the clown

Is it good to be vulnerable?

'Til a knife hits your face

And an ambulance is miles away

An ambulance is miles away

If I don't make it in the next week and a half

I'm gonna kill myself, and when I say that

I mean I'm gonna get a job

Gonna get along with all the

Loneliness and politics, this knife in my face

I will take up my place there, in my American nightmare

I'm not feelin so right

Everything I say is on the cue-card tonight

Healthy being so vulnerable

'Til a knife hit my face

And an ambulance is miles away

An ambulance is miles away

If I don't make it in the next week and a half

I'm gonna kill myself, and when I say that

I mean I'm gonna get a job

Gonna get along with all the

Loneliness and politics, this knife in my face

I will take up my place there

In my American night

In my American night

In my American nightmare

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.
