My American mind laughs at the bags under my eyes
You can’t have too much of a good thing
Walmart prices get dirt cheap and florescent lights put us to sleep
My American mind
My American mind loves our flag
Loves stars and stripes and denim and flannel plaid
Hummers, rabbit hunting and 4 dollar a gallon gas
My American mind loves the flag
My American mind loves to starve
Loves treadmills, Jenny Craig and protein bars
Bread scares the living shit out of me and my Trident’s always sugar-free
My American mind loves to starve
But my American mind loves the peanut
And that lovely old fashioned butter that takes me out of all my Sunday ruts
A spoon will do until the jar is through, a creamy crunchy friend until the end
My American mind loves the peanut
My American mind also likes to fly
And when I landed in Europe I often wondered why
The cars were so ridiculously small and the coffee cups were all made for dolls
People smell their food before they eat and have family reunions once a week
My American mind likes to fly
But my American mind knows how to dream
And though at times these goals and timelines may seem a bit extreme
This black or white and hot or cold is what helped me meet a long list of goals
And stories true that I had told
My American mind
