An American Boy

Lyrics
I posted 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 doin' all right They keep the gun case locked up tight With the key hanging there in plain sight While I make my plans It won't be long before I come undone There's no tomorrow for a wayward son What will they say then ‘bout their pride and joy Their American boy? It's not the world they always said it would be A shining pearl waiting there for me A golden girl who would care for me A future I could own They messed my mind with every kind of med Now voices whisper in my head Telling me softly I'll be better off dead But I'm not going alone It won't be long before I come undone I'm gonna blow my world to kingdom come Once I was someone's only pride and joy An American boy, American boy It won't be long before my time has come I won't be sorry for this thing I've done Maybe somewhere there's everlasting joy For an American boy, American boy I built a bomb down in the basement light Went to the prom on a Saturday night I didn't blow it cause the time's not right But it's close at hand
