lyrics

I was born with American ambition in my blood
I consider it an attribute, if only because I was
you were born with a silver spoon laying just out of reach
no such thing as the American dream
they couldn't teach it anymore
an educational afternoon
in the mid-90's
you said it didn't bother you
well, it bothered me
I want to know that I get you back in the end
Patience please wait on me, be a good friend

I was born with American Ambition in my blood
a false sense of entitlement, it'll never be enough
yeah, you promised me the whole world when I didn't ask
but I believe that in the end that I might settle for only your half
I want to know that I get you back in the end
Patience please wait on me, be a good friend
Belief is a bet I placed on myself
Faith was a gamble on somebody else

I keep the world at arms length and my hands to myself
My time spent alone for somebody else
Patience please wait on me, be a good friend
I was born with American ambition in my blood
I know it'll be the death of me, if only because
