I am not the original ever to be cynical
A little too eager, Kennedy Krieger
Fucked up, All-American

I never got high first time that I tried
Just like everyone
I know the cigarettes were bold for a little
Four-foot-nothin ten year old

On hot summer days we'd run off to the mall
Send security climbin up the wall
Just like everyone, we thought we were forever young
I am not the original ever to be cynical
A little too eager, Kennedy Krieger
Fucked up, All-American

We lived out our lives like we would never die
Just like everyone
But before Keith went to bed
He put a double-barrel shotgun to his head

We were just smartass punks on dope
We were gonna find our own white hope
Just like everyone, we thought we were the chosen ones

I am not the original ever to be cynical
A little too eager, Kennedy Krieger
Fucked up, All-American

I am totally miserable, ever to be pigeonholed
Completely obsessive, manic-depressive
Fucked up, All-American

Smashing bottles and cans
For reasons I don't understand
When I look at the past
It's like staring at pieces of broken glass
Just like broken glass, just like broken glass
And I don't understand

I am not the original,
Completely fuckin' miserable (completely fuckin' miserable)
A little too eager (a little too eager)
Kennedy Creeger

I am not the original ever to be cynical
A little too eager, Kennedy Krieger
Fucked up, All-American

I am totally miserable, ever to be pigeonholed
Completely obsessive, manic-depressive
Fucked up, All-American

Fucked up, All-American
