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
