I'm setting ablaze to everything that is beautiful
I'm making some plans with the one they call Lucifer
I'm the future of America, but I don't think I'm ready
I'm still running from the cops, I hope they never catch me
I've never felt quite right, no I can't handle the strain
I just want to find my own fun, make my own game
And I won't take no for an answer, these laws they won't prevent me
You can't shut me out, I'll make my own entry
-chorus-
I know someday I have to grown up and be mundane
But today I want to ignore authority
I'm still hanging on to my childhood liberties
We're wild, stupid, and untamed
I'm setting ablaze to everything that is beautiful
I'm making some plans with the one they call Lucifer
I'm the future of America, but I don't think I'm ready
I'm still running from the cops, I hope they never catch me
I'm going on a journey, seeing what I'll find
Looking far within me, to see what's on my mind
I'm scared of the future because I'm still running from the past
Trying to stay happy and make something last
-chorus-
