1600, 1600, 1600 on the SATs

Said they gettin', said they gettin'

Said they gettin' me an SUV

Just a couple miles from the lights of the city

Pour a little liquor in my Starbucks Venti

Just 11, just 11 when they said I had the ADD



I've been trying to keep up with all of these great expectations

So I keep on faking



We're secretly out of control, nobody knows it

But my mom's got a problem with oxy's and she's angry

Cause my dad's office door's always closed

But I stopped knocking

Yeah, we're secretly out of control and everyone knows

Oh, it's morning in America

Oh, it's morning in America

Oh, it's morning in America

Oh, it's morning in America



At the locker, at the locker

At the locker selling time release

Where's the party? Where's the party?

Where's the party? There's a house empty

Didn't learn a lesson, didn't use protection

Doesn't wanna keep the baby

Throwing up in the alley, in the alley

Older brother looking for me



I've been trying to keep up with all of these great expectations

So I keep on faking



We're secretly out of control, nobody knows it

But my mom's got a problem with oxy's and she's angry

Cause my dad's office door's always closed

But I stopped knocking

Cause there's some things I don't wanna know

We're secretly out of control, nobody says it

When the class president overdosed, we all pretended

It was rare, it was shocking and all the town was talking

Yeah, we're secretly out of control and everyone knows

Oh, it's morning in America

Oh, it's morning in America

And everyone knows

Oh, it's morning in America

Oh, it's morning in America



No, no, no, no...



We're secretly out of control, nobody knows me

And my friends all addicted to porn, can't keep a girlfriend

Cause the great expectations got all us imitating

Yeah, we're secretly out of control and everyone knows



We're secretly out of control, nobody knows it

But my mom's got a problem with oxy's and she's angry

Cause my dad's office door's always closed

But I stopped knocking

Cause there's some things I don't wanna know

We're secretly out of control, nobody says it

When the class president overdosed, we all pretended

It was rare, it was shocking and all the town was talking

Yeah, we're secretly out of control and everyone knows

Oh, it's morning in America

Oh, it's morning in America

And everyone knows

Oh, it's morning in America

Oh, it's morning in America

And everyone knows
