lyrics

You can be anything that you want
Just don’t be dumb and don’t be a blonde
Stay in line and sit so still
Don’t get old and don’t get ill
Well you can do anything the you want
Just as long as you got the skin to flaunt
Adjust your style your words your moves
All you’ve got is a body to lose

You can be anything that you want
Just don’t expect to make it to the top
Smile for the camera and dress up for the men
Stay ever young stay forever thin
Well you can do anything that you like
Just as long as your loving is right
Rejected feelings and rejected sales
If you don’t believe our fairy tales

What does it mean to be an American
Why do we care about everyone fitting in
What is it for, all of this fear again
Invented borders, they feel like they’re closing in

You can be anything that you want
Just make sure that you accent isn’t strong
Don’t cook your food and don’t wear your clothes
Make a display about how much you own
Well you can be anything that you like
Just beware that we reserve the right
To take your body and to take your mind
If we decide we’re afraid of your kind

But you can be anything that you want

What does it mean to be an American
Why do we care about everyone fitting in
What is it for, all of this fear again
Invented borders, they feel like they’re closing in
Not everybody wants to be an American
Not everybody wants to care about everyone fitting in
Not everybody wants to deal with the fear again
Invented borders, they don’t have to box you in
