Sucker

Sucker

I try to reason with the people that I should resent

The suits, they love me for my smile and my southern accent

I wonder if they've ever been

On the other side of a counter or checkout screen

Would you say that it's developing your character?

Skipping school to pay the bills, I guess it doesn't matter

Won't be a sucker for the American dream

I won't lie to make you stay

And if I make it, then I won't straighten my teeth

I'm gonna give it all away

So I'll try to reason with the people that I should resent

It's not their fault, and we can't change the roots of our descent

I'm not going to try and argue with you on the internet

The world's not fair, and I know, really, I'm the lucky one

I want to share my bigger portion of the rising sun

We need to know we've made a change before our time has come

How does it feel to know your millions could feed a ton?

Won't be a sucker for the American Dream

I won't lie to make you stay

And if I make it, then I won't straighten my teeth

I'm gonna give it all away

Won't be a sucker for the American Dream

I won't lie to make you stay

And if I make it, then I won't straighten my teeth

I'm gonna give it all away (sucker)

I won't change your mind

You won't change your ways

When my legs get tired (so tired)

Will I take your place?

Will I vote for me? (For me)

'Cause I've paid my way

Forget all my past

I won't take your place

Why try to reason with the people that I just resent?

Won't be a sucker for the American Dream

I won't lie to make you stay

And if I make it, then I won't straighten my teeth

I'm gonna give it all away

Won't be a sucker for the American Dream

I won't lie to make you stay

And if I make it, then I won't straighten my teeth

I'm gonna give it away
