American Fantasy - Take It Back!

I know it’s hard for you to understand what I’m going through.

Cause every night we go around to all the kids in different towns,

And I see their smiling faces, and I know this feeling won’t die down.

I hate to say it, but you don’t know what is best for me…

This is what separates us.

This is what separates me from your American fantasy.

And don’t you think (and don’t you think)

That I’m on the brink (that I’m on the brink) of your American fantasy…

This is who I am…

And after all the things I’ve been shown, the 9 to 5 just seemed too dull.

I don’t know what to tell you, I will just have to stay true.

I hate to say it, but you don’t know what is best for me…

This is what separates us.

This is what separates me from your American fantasy.

And don’t you think (and don’t you think)

That I’m on the brink (that I’m on the brink) of your American fantasy.

This is what separates us.

This is what separates me from your American fantasy.

But I’ll never want that, so I’ll never look back to your American fantasy.
