《An American Boy》歌词：
I post pictures on my facebook site
A shooting star in a long dark night
A lonely kid beneath the basement light
With thunder in his hands
My parents wonder if I'm doing alright
They keep the gun case locked up tight
With the key hangin there in plain site
While I make my plans
It won't be long before I come undone
There is no tomorrow for a wayward son
What will they say about their pride and joy
Their American boy
It's not the world they always said it would be
A shiny pearl waiting there for me
A golden girl who will care for me
A future I could own
They mess my mind with every kind of med
Voice whispers in my head
Telling me softly I'd be better off dead
I'm not going alone
It won't be long before I come undone
I'm going to blow my world to kingdom come
Once I was someone's only pride and joy
And an American boy
American boy
It won't be long before the time has come
I won't be sorry for the thing I've done
Maybe somewhere there is everlasting joy
And an American boy
American boy
I built a bomb under basement light
went to a prom on a Saturday night
I didn't blow it ‘cause time is not right
But it's close at hand
