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
