Lyrics

You say I'm beautiful
Well, I can't help it
You say I'm empty
We all know I'm full of shit
Get out, get old
You've lost control
Get out, get up
You're growing old
Can anyone, anyone be true?
Does anyone, anyone wanna be you?

You say I'm tragic
I say it's magic, kid
You say I'm lucky
We all know it's in the cards
Get out, get old
Get out, get out
You've lost control
Can anyone, anyone be true?
Does anyone, anyone wanna be you?
Do they wanna be you?
Bring it, jimmy

Some will let you eat their razor blades
Let you wave in their crusade
Spill your blood inside their parade
American the beautiful

I'm loaded, knocked out, sky high
Loaded, flat out deadly true
Does anyone wanna be you?
Can anyone, anyone be true?
Does anyone, anyone wanna be you?
Do they wanna be you?

Notes

From Machina II.
Original M2 version does not have the "razor blades" bridge, which appears on the alternate take from the 2025 Machina reissue, which in turn has a false start & omits the "Woo!" and "Bring it, Jimmy" line.
