American Lyrics

To me it seems like this song is about the fast paced life of contemporary consumerist America. The child-like pleasure seeking, the societal pressure to be 'young, dope and proud'. The 'crystal method' most likely being a meth reference, talking about the addictive rush of such a hedonistic lifestyle.

My Opinion

Crystal Method is a band. I don't think it is a meth reference at all. Just saying.
