Sucker

(Sucker) I try to reason with the people that I should resent The suits, 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 you 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 world's 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 ton? 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 (so tired) Will I take your place? Will I vote for me? (Sucker) 'Cause I've paid my way Forget all my past (sucker) I won't take your place Why try to reason with the people that I just 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 away
