Sucker Songtext
I try to reason with the people that I should resent
The suites they love me
For my smile and my southern accent
I wonder if they've ever been
On the other side of a counter
Or checkout screen
Would they say that it's developing your character
Skipping school
The suites they love me
For my smile and my southern accent
I wonder if they've ever been
On the other side of a counter
Or checkout screen
Would they say that it's developing your character
Skipping school
To pay the bills
I guess it doesn't matter
Won't be a sucker
For the American dream
I won't lie to make you stay
And if I make it
Then I won't straighten my teeth
I'm gonna give it all away
So I'll try to reason with the people that I should resent
It's not their fault
And we can't change the roots of our descent
I'm not going to try and argue with you on the internet
The worlds not fair
And I know really I'm the lucky one
I want to share my bigger portion of the rising sun
We need to know we've made a change
Before our time has come
How does it feel
To know your millions
Could feed a tonne
Won't be a sucker
For the American dream
I won't lie to make you stay
And if I make it
Then I won't straighten my teeth
I'm gonna give it all away
Won't be a sucker
For the American dream
I won't lie to make you stay
And if I make it
Then I won't straighten my teeth
I'm gonna give it all away
(sucker)
I won't change your mind
You won't change your ways
When my legs get tired
Will I take your place
Will I vote for me
Cause I've paid my way
Forget all my past
I won't take your place
So I try to reason with the people that I should resent
Won't be a sucker
For the American dream
I won't lie to make you stay
And if I make it
Then I won't straighten my teeth
I'm gonna give it all away
Won't be a sucker
For the American dream
I won't lie to make you stay
And if I make it
Then I won't straighten my teeth
I'm gonna give it all away
Won't be a sucker
For the American dream
I won't lie to make you stay
And if I make it
Then I won't straighten my teeth
I'm gonna give it all away
I guess it doesn't matter
Won't be a sucker
For the American dream
I won't lie to make you stay
And if I make it
Then I won't straighten my teeth
I'm gonna give it all away
So I'll try to reason with the people that I should resent
It's not their fault
And we can't change the roots of our descent
