I own nothing in this video. Everything is made by Will Wood.
lyrics (from what i can decipher) -
[Intro]
I got a new phone today
Not because I wanted one because I needed one
That's the stage I'm in in my life now
I no longer get things cuz I want them
Now, I... sometimes get things when I need them
Every cent that I make goes towards something that
I wish I could live without
No more spending money, no more allowances,
no more going out, none of that jazz
No more treating myself to dinners,
No more treating myself to anything,
I can't afford cigarettes, I don't drink anymore
I don't have a good time,
I've lost all my friends because I focus on my career instead of focusing on the things that matter to me
Or instead of focusing on the things that I'm told are supposed to matter to me
But really, I suppose I don't really know what matters to me
'Cause all the things that I'm supposed to think matter to me
Really don't matter to me,
And that includes my friends and my family
That includes the things and the people who are close to me
That includes my loves, my girlfriends, my boyfriends
My neithers, my in-betweens
The only thing that I end up being able to focus is my fucking life flying right in front of me
they say it's splitting, they say maybe it's symptoms of borderline personality disorder
(?) also could that mean I'm just that I'm just used to seeing everything in ebonies and ivories,
Blacks and whites, spending way too much time in front of the fucking keyboard
Trying to figure out what I want to do with my fucking music
Instead of trying to figure out what I want to do with my fucking life
Because there is no melody(?) in anything that I do
there is only an image of the thing that's going to happen next (?)
I suppose what I'm really trying to say is
That it's... It's just a good old fashioned American depression.
This is a brand new song.
[Verse 1]
When you find the proof for the truth you made
Would you use it to choose how you screw your faith?
Ooh, American depression
When you make the mistakes that your fate's been waiting for
And try to escape but you just keep making more
Ooh, American depression
[Pre-Chorus]
Jesus, please just believe us
Like the way we were told to believe in you
We were dressed from our Sunday best
But no tailor's got no tools for no birthday suit
So the least that you could do is return the favor
Our saving disgrace is that we're the savior
[Chorus]
It's just good old fashioned American depression
Tell me it gets better but it's only an expression
It's just good old fashioned American depression
Ooh, sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
American depression!
Ooh, American depression
[Verse 2]
So when you wash your hands of where you've been until you flood the second floor
And neatly fold your skeletons but still can't shut the closet door
Ooh, American depression
When you try to make your present past, but future lasts forever
Never tether to whatever makes you even bother getting better
It's just American depression
[Pre-Chorus]
Lover, why do you turn out the lights?
When beauty's in the eyes of those beholding
Could you hold me closer?
We get dressed to impress, I guess
In layer after layer to get off our chest
It's cold out now, we could take it off later
Better safe than sorry if we know the danger
[Chorus]
It's just good old fashioned American depression
Tell you it gets better but I know it's an expression
It's just good old fashioned American depression
Ooh, sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
American depression!
Ooh, American depression
[Pre-Chorus]
Doctor, could you run another test?
Got a feeling that this time I may just pass it
Well, if you raise the average
We’ll all sing when the bell curve rings
In lyrics symptomatic of the way we think
If our harmonies don’t sync, we can change our voices
A chorus on condition of our diagnosis
[Chorus]
It's just good old fashioned American depression
Tell me it gets better but it's only an expression
It's just good old fashioned American depression
Ooh, sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
It's just good old fashioned American depression
Tell me it gets better but it's only an expression
It's just good old fashioned American depression
Ooh, sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
It's just good old fashioned American depression
Ooh, sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
American depression
