Wilco - Schmilco Normal American Kids

Lyrics

I remind myself of myself long ago / before I could drive, before I could vote / All of the time, holding a grudge / before I knew people could die just because / Shot from a sling, head full of buzz / I knew what I liked was not very much / High at the time, tied to the grid / Always afraid of those normal American kids • Oh all of my spirit leaked like a cut / I knew what I needed would never be enough / I was too high to change my bid / always afraid to be a normal American kid • Always hated normal American • Empty summer days / Lightning crazed and cracked like an egg / High behind the garden shed / Painting myself as a normal American kid • I always hated it • High as high as high can loom / Under the sheets in my bedroom / I was as high as high can get / Always afraid of the normal American kids • Oh bongs and jams and carpeted vans / Hate everything I don’t understand / High times tightening the lid / Had to get away from those normal American kids / Always hated those normal American kids / Always hated those normal American kids
