Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Winter gettin' colder, summer gettin' warmer
Tidal wave come across the Mexican border
Why buy a gallon, it's cheaper by the barrel?
Just don't get busted singing Christmas carols
[Chorus]
That's us, that's right
Gotta love this American ride
Both ends of the ozone burnin'
Funny how the world keeps turnin'
Look, Ma, no hands
I love this American ride
Gotta love this American ride
[Verse 2]
Mama gets her rocks off watchin' Desperate Housewives
Daddy works his ass off, payin' for the good life
Kids on the YouTube, learnin' how to be cool
Livin' in a cruel world, pays to be a mean girl
[Chorus]
That's us, that's right
Gotta love this American ride
Both ends of the ozone burnin'
Funny how the world keeps turnin'
Look, Ma, no hands
I love this American ride
Gotta love this American ride
[Bridge]
Poor little infamous, America's town
She gained five pounds and lost her crown
Quick fix, plastic surgical antidote
Got herself a record deal, can't even sing a note
[Verse 3]
Plasma gettin' bigger, Jesus gettin' smaller
Spill a cup of coffee, make a million dollars
Customs caught a thug with an aerosol can
If the shoe don't fit, the fits gonna hit the shan
[Chorus]
That's us, that's right
Gotta love this American ride
Both ends of the ozone burnin'
Funny how the world keeps turnin'
Hot dog, hot damn
I love this American ride
Gotta love this American ride
Oh yeah
[Outro]
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na-na
