You used to be so hard on me
You yelled at everything
I respected you 'cause that is exactly how I felt too

Suddenly everything changed
Was it the money, was it the fame?
Now you've become an overbearing pain

Are you trying to find yourself?
Are you trying to figure out just who you are?
You've wasted so much American airtime

Are you trying to find yourself?
Are you trying to figure out just what went wrong?
Stop wasting so much American airtime

Don't tell me life caught up with you
And you're ashamed of your tattoos
I don't wanna hear it
'Cause I got every single too

Now this is the sound of growing up
All the old folks say "hey, turn it up"
'Cause it sounds like something
Someone they once knew

Are you trying to find yourself?
Are you trying to figure out just who you are?
You've wasted so much American airtime

Are you trying to find yourself?
Are you trying to figure out just what went wrong?
Stop wasting so much American airtime

And the DJ says this rocks song, yeah
It's like nothing you've ever known
And if a nursery rhyme is the best you can do
Maybe you should be moving on

Are you trying to find yourself?
Are you trying to figure out just who you are?
You've wasted so much American airtime

Are you trying to find yourself?
Are you trying to figure out just what went wrong?
Stop wasting so much American airtime

Are you trying to find yourself?
Are you trying to figure out just who you are?
You're wasting so much American airtime

What I was once I'll always be
And that's cool enough for me
You should be ashamed
