I wish it could be simple
Wish I could be happy with what I got
I could live the dream for just two hours
Sailing on a rented yacht
Trust fund wanna-be, got these new shoes
Over-bored with an overdraft fee
I wish I was happy, but Im not
Whys it so hard being an American girl
Whys it so hard living in a first-problem world
When the prettiest things are now holding me back
And I cant get away from this massive attack
Whys it so hard being an American girl
Too young for the bar
So I went to the bank
Got a loan for college
Where all I did was drank
Workin so hard to repay sallie mae
Gonna have to freeze my eggs if I want kids someday
If you build it they will come
I dont think that works for everyone
Chevrolet promises windblown hair
Now Im stuck in traffic going nowhere
Whys it so hard being an American girl
Whys it so hard living in a first-problem world
When the American promise is the land of the free
But Im waiting for the bill for the air that I breath
Whys it so hard being an American girl
Every heart beats true
Every heart beats true
Every heart beats true
Every heart beats true
For the red white blue
Tell me girls, what are we gonna do
Girl power is more than a spice, its a meal
Dont let them feed you
You cant trust what they have
Put the pill under your tongue
When they turn their backs
So, put your highest heels on
Because we have to aim HIGH
Why is it so hard being an American girl
