Constantly searching to find something new
But what will you find when you think that nothing's true
Maybe it's that nothing is new
So you let me hear songs that were written all about you
Because songs weren't written for you
They'll never be about you
Then you contract the American dream
You never look up once
You've contracted American dreams
You never look up once, so don't look up
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world
Sing a song about myself
Keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world
