I got a short attention span,
cause i am an american
must be something in the air,
fast food, t.v., i don't care
home of the big cars,
home of the soft minds
just the thing, that i despise
the kids can't read,
and the kids can't spell
i'm telling you, mom,
this place is going to hell
america is the drive-thru nation
everybody's got their own television station
i come from the velvetta generation
keep it simple,
cause i can't deal with complication
wow - growin' up american
yea - we're growin' up american
wow - growin' up american
yea - that's grown' up american
