Thank You, New Jersey

New Jersey people really don't care about what you say
And they just wanna mind their business and continue with their day
And I think, honestly, they might be onto something
When they live their life that way
(They might be onto something, think they might be onto something)

And maybe other people got the wrong idea
Always wanna be the center of the Earth
But don't you know Pangea started driftin'
When the plates tectonic shifted?
I think you should do the same
(Just wanna say)

Thank you, New Jersey
Run my self-esteem into the ground
I'm feelin' hope, you always bring me down
You bring me down to Earth
You bring me down to Earth

Carolina weather feels so nice upon your skin
But really, being anywhere except New Jersey is a sin
Because the way you only got yourself
It's how much you teach somebody how to live

Sure, this party's spaced out in the South Atlantic sea
But wouldn't you wanna be sittin' on a beach right next to me?
Where you can't even move a muscle
'Cause you'd be in someone else's property

I'm on an island alone with my conscience
There's no place that I'd rather be
The chatter I hear is just noise in the wind
And it really don't matter
(Ah, whatever)

Thank you, New Jersey
Run my self-esteem into the ground
I'm feelin' hope, you always bring me down
You bring me down to Earth
You bring me down to Earth
