lyrics

I'm all buzzed out with sugar
I'm all buzzed out with friends
I'm all buzzed out with coffee
And tomorrow I'mma do it all again

I am American
I need my medicine

I'm all tired from busy
Drive myself in a tizzy
It's never enough making money and stuff
Fill up my car, my goddamn car

I am American
I need my medicine

I don't be ungrateful for all the privilege I have
But I'm sniffing out a pattern in the culture of this land

Now don't get me wrong
I'm proud and I'm strong
I call this my home and this battle's my own
But I know I'm not alone

I am American
I need my medicine
I can't stop eating cake
Working until I shake
Every time my car breaks
Or my poor body aches
I'll ask you if you take my credit card
Will you take my credit card
Will you take my credit card
Will you take my credit card
Take my credit card
Will you take my credit card
Will you take my credit card
Will you take my credit card
Take my credit card
