American Beauties

We're lost land lovers and second-shift-strugglers
Carve out our own piece of the pie
Wasted and faded on minimum wages
Try not to let life pass us by
A left and a right keeps us dazed and surprised in the middle

American beauties
We fought hard to get here
Earning our scars and the marks on our arms took us years
We'll have some good times
We'll stand our ground
Shoulder to shoulder
Busted and broken
Someday we'll figure this out
American beauties
Uh huh

The mistakes of our fathers and tight-lipped mothers
Chasing somebody else's bad dream
Serving the system, indoctrinized wisdom
We're deeper in debt by degrees
Handcuffed and locked up by the stars and the bars in the middle

American beauties
We fought hard to get here
Earning our scars and the marks on our arms took us years
We'll have some good times
We'll stand our ground
Shoulder to shoulder
Busted and broken
Someday we'll figure this out

(In the middle in the middle)
(Wasted and faded on minimum wages)
(In the middle in the middle)
(Wasted and faded on minimum wages)
You're never alone (in the middle)
(Wasted and faded on minimum wages)
It hurts but it's good (in the middle)
(Wasted and faded on minimum wages)
It's tough but it's ours
There's truth to be found
We'll figure this out

American beauties
We fought hard to get here
Earning our scars and the marks on our arms took us years
We'll have some good times
We'll stand our ground
Shoulder to shoulder
Busted and broken
Yeah we'll figure it out
American beauties
Oh
American beauties
Oh
