lyrics

I'm back on my feet
I'm back on the street where people see you as an enemy
If you aren't everything they love about 1970
What am I supposed to be?

Walk the only way that I know
Everybody wears the right clothes
Like I never learned how to read a magazine

Your face is a movie screen
Selling me the American dream
And I don’t want to buy it, but you’re begging me
Everyone’s begging me

People make me nervous
People make me nervous
People make me nervous
People make me nervous
(You seem a little stressed out)

Keep on missing the beat (Oh shit, my bad)
My head’s still spinning and my breath still smells like coffee and weed
And I’m not going out of this house for anything
'Cause everything I say is so embarrassing (Oh my god, I can't believe you said that...)

Walk the only way that I know
Everybody wears the right clothes
Like I never learned how to read a magazine

Your face is a movie screen
Selling me the American dream
And I don’t want to buy it, but you’re begging me
Everyone’s begging me

People make me nervous
People make me nervous
People make me nervous
People make me nervous
(Is there anything that... doesn't make you nervous?)
(That's what I thought.)

You’ve got the face of a beauty queen, you’re American royalty
I’m dreaming of your news feed as I fall asleep
I wonder if you ever think...

People make me nervous
People make me nervous
People make me nervous
People make me nervous

People make me nervous
People make me nervous
People make me nervous
People make me nervous

People make me nervous
People make me nervous
