Lyrics

[Verse 1]

How many people rise and say

"My brain's so awfully glad to be here for yet another mindless day

Now, I've got all morning to obsessively accrue

A small nation of meaningful objects and they've gotta represent me too

By this afternoon, I'll live in debt

And by tomorrow, be replaced by children"?

[Verse 2]

How many people rise and think

"Oh good, the stranger's body's still here, our arrangement hasn't changed

Now, I've got a lifetime to consider all the ways

I grow more disappointing to you as my beauty warps and fades

And I suspect you feel the same

When I was young, I dreamt of a passionate obligation to a roommate"?

[PreChorus]

Is this the part where I get all I ever wanted?

Who said that?

Can I get my money back?

[Chorus]

Just a little bored in the USA

Oh, just a little bored in the USA

Save me, white Jesus

Bored in the USA

[Bridge]

Oh, they gave me a useless education

And a subprime loan on a craftsman home

Keep my prescriptions filled

And now I can't get off

But I can kind of deal

Oh, with being

[Chorus]

Bored in the USA

Oh, just a little bored in the USA

Save me, President Jesus

I'm bored in the USA

How did it happen?

Bored in the USA

[Outro]

Oh, oh
