new archetype

[Intro]

I've come a long way to be forgotten

Then again, I've come a long way to get shoved back in the dirt

And while you were out bullying on Gallatin

Waxing punk rock and waxing valiant

This diminutive Italian's been doing the work

[Verse 1]

Listen brother

You can't pull that one off on a girl who grew up on Dolly Parton

You can't pull one of those on her when she knows her worth

And I'm aware you're niche micro-famous

And feeling dangerous

You put your heart into a playlist full of songs she's already heard

[Chorus]

And she said "I need a new archetype"

'cause Amelia Earhart lived such a short life

Before she went down, I'm laying up in bed

I caught a vision in my head

We'll talk about it later, too many people around

[Post Chorus]

They had no idea all of 2019 was symbolic (yeah)

They had no idea I didn't believe my own life

And no one can be like Jesus or RuPaul

But we can strive

[Verse 2]

Working hard (working hard) to be self aware

(Number one, the most self-aware!)

Too bad they don't really care

They'll always be your enemy

They like waking up all the sheep

As long as it's good for business

And if it's not, then don't you dare

I said

I've come a long way to be forgotten

I said I come a long way to make it here

Still haven't found the way I can win in this world

But I can show you how to disappear

[Chorus]

I said I need a new archetype (yeah)

I heard the way John Lennon treated his wife (come on, boys, we can do better)

I'm laying up in bed

I found somebody in a book I read

To talk about later, too many people around

[Post Chorus]

And they had no idea why the war is symbolic (m-hm)

And they had no idea about the violence inside, yeah

There's never gonna be another Big Thief, another Tame Impala

But still we gotta let the kid try

[Outro]

Mm, come on and let the kid try

Let the kid try

Let the kid try
