Not Your American Idol Lyrics

Horror movie beauty queen

Killed off in the second scene

Voice shakes when I try to speak

So don't cast me for anything

Can't make a name for myself

Can't make him love me back

But I could break apart a BIC razor in 20 seconds flat

They don't know I'm skipping dinner

My friends say I'm looking thinner

Suck it in, baby, smile for the picture

I just wanna break the mirror

Lights, camera, action

More energy, more passion

You want me if I'm made of plastic

Places, everybody

Look like the perfect family

None of us are any good at actin'

And I might be faking a smile

But I'm not your American idol

I don't fit right in your box, and I don't fit right in my jeans

My clothes aren't cool enough, and I hate every word I sing

If you looked behind the curtain, would you not like what you see

If I said I wanna end it all, would you put it on TV

They don't know my brain is abusive

(I'm not cool, they hate my music)

The door is closed, but the thoughts are intrusive

And I just wanna fuckin' lose it

Lights, camera, action

More energy, more passion

You want me if I'm made of plastic

Places, everybody

Look like the perfect family

None of us are any good at actin'

And I might be faking a smile

But I'm not your American idol

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Ahhh

Lights, camera, action

More energy, more passion

You want me if I'm made of plastic

Places, everybody

Look like the perfect family

None of us are any good at actin'

And I might be faking a smile

But I'm not your American idol

Oh, oh, oh, oh

American idol
