Bellion, Jon - Morning In America Lyrics
1600, 1600, 1600 on the SATs
Said they gettin', said they gettin'
Said they gettin' me an SUV
Just a couple miles from the lights of the city
Pour a little liquor in my Starbucks Venti
I've been trying to keep up with all of these great expectations
So I keep on faking
We're secretly out of control, nobody knows it
But my mom's got a problem with oxy's and she's angry
Cause my dad's office door's always closed
But I stopped knocking
Yeah, we're secretly out of control and everyone knows
Oh, it's morning in America
Oh, it's morning in America
Oh, it's morning in America
At the locker, at the locker
At the locker selling time release
Where's the party? Where's the party?
Where's the party? There's a house empty
Didn't learn a lesson, didn't use protection
Doesn't wanna keep the baby
Throwing up in the alley, in the alley
Older brother looking for me
I've been trying to keep up with all of these great expectations
So I keep on faking
We're secretly out of control, nobody knows it
But my mom's got a problem with oxy's and she's angry
Cause my dad's office door's always closed
But I stopped knocking
Cause there's some things I don't wanna know
We're secretly out of control, nobody says it
When the class president overdosed, we all pretended
It was rare, it was shocking and all the town was talking
Yeah, we're secretly out of control and everyone knows
Oh, it's morning in America
Oh, it's morning in America
And everyone knows
Oh, it's morning in America
Oh, it's morning in America
No, no, no, no...
We're secretly out of control, nobody knows me
And my friends all addicted to porn, can't keep a girlfriend
Cause the great expectations got all us imitating
Yeah, we're secretly out of control and everyone knows
We're secretly out of control, nobody knows it
But my mom's got a problem with oxy's and she's angry
Cause my dad's office door's always closed
But I stopped knocking
Cause there's some things I don't wanna know
We're secretly out of control, nobody says it
When the class president overdosed, we all pretended
It was rare, it was shocking and all the town was talking
Yeah, we're secretly out of control and everyone knows
Oh, it's morning in America
Oh, it's morning in America
And everyone knows
Oh, it's morning in America
Oh, it's morning in America
And everyone knows

Bellion, Jon Morning In America Comments
Wait its seriously been 4 damn years??! What i thought it was 2 years the fuck
2016 was felt big short ago
We are all messed up, but we continue walking even if we are denying the truth
People thinking they know everything about America from a damn song, grow up😒
@Shanice Cheng I'm not actually Russian
your dumb
@Russian Representative sorry to tell you but this songs pretty accurate
We learn shit from the news dude
@Moo Moo I disagree.
Why are a bunch of people trashing America in the comments? I understand we are probably a bunch of losers but it's not my fault I was born here and find it easier to stay
Oh, worm?
Why does that "class president overdosed" part hit me so hard?
maybe cause the 'class president' is seen as one of the straight A goody goody kids that's perfect on the outside and to realize that he or her isn't ,,,,
Bruh I took my SAT on no sleep and high af (':
Three years sure go by fast...
0.25 = Whats is that? D;
0.5 = Sound like his drunk but singing at the same time
0.75 = Sound the same as normal
1.25 = Sounds better then normal
1.5 = Way better then normal
1.75 = Rapper
2 = God Rapper ;oo
(Speeds of the song)
;3
Ngl .75 kinda hits different
It's Morning in America
It's Evening in Asia
It's a minute in Africa
Is digorno
This has been in my recommended on Spotify for like 2 years and I’m so mad I didn’t listen untill like yesterday
Good things fall apart* i accedentlly said Goid things fall apart
My Mom loves John Bellions song and so do i!Who else likes his song,Goid things fall apart? Its my fav song out of all of em
It's amazing
Lol who sings about this stuff or um lol America has NOTHING on S. Korea and Japan America is easy living compared to Korea Japan
@uKnow Before you read this I just want to thank you. I truly appreciate the way you handled the argument this time. You didn't spit out nonsense and you left insults where they belong. I really appreciate that. Now, if you're whole argument is based on this song and the nation it's rooted in rather than the problems the song artist is singing about, and I don't mean this in a rude way, then your argument is completely void. This song isn't about America. It isn't about a nation. This song is about him and the struggles he's facing. It's about the high expectations and pressure his parents are putting on him even though they're never there for him. It's about the "friends" he has around him who don't care about him, the friends that can't grow up a little or find a love interest to care for them. It's not about America. It's about him, an individual with his own life, his own problems, and his own mind. I hope you read this closely and truly grasp what I'm saying.
@uKnow thank you for handling dis
uKnow In no part is he saying America’s the toughest or that other places problems are lesser just stating that there are still problems here as well. You saying that America is easy living is disregarding the struggles that some may face in America. Now we don’t have it the toughest but there are real problems here and there are people who live in fear everyday: fear of being deported, of losing someone you love, of being shot in school, of being abused. These are problems that happen everywhere including America and it doesn’t matter where you live it’s just as much of a problem. So why to you does the place that one is living disregard all their problems please inform me because I seem to be missing something.
Bruh let people enjoy the song fucknut
@Abigail Carman I think he is making a comparison to the rest of the world saying that in general the United States has a less oppressive government, economy, etc. He is not talking about the lower class which will never cease to exist anywhere in the world. Of course there will be extreme struggles everywhere, whether it be school shootings, abuse, losing someone you love (however you interpret that), and deportation like you said. However, he is talking about how these problems can exist (in general) anywhere in the world, so taking the differences in lifestyle into consideration (meaning apart from the common issues previously mentioned), the USA is quite a better place to live than anywhere else (for the most part as there are obviously well developed asian and European countries as well). I don't really know because I'm not the person who said made the comment; Im just doing my best to explain how I see it. IDK. Thanks if you actually took the time to read the comment
💘💕💗💝💓💗💘
My favorite song
ya'll try it at 1.5 speed
That’s sick lol
@Ghost Dog I agree
that hit different
@stoned platypus it's a hell of a lot more upbeat
AND EVERYONE KNOWSSSSSSSSSSS
I mean we crazy as fuck but it can be fun
This would make a great movie who is with me 🤗
It really would though
It totally would
Good thing I live in the Philippines cuz America is out of control
Why Khirsty why.
@Sabareesh Sudhagar ok
Nah, you right. America is kind of nuts. I mean, so are lots of other countries, but we DEFINITELY have issues.
Lmaoo eyy fellow Filipino
What?? Philippines is also out of control and i'm a Filipino
almost 3 years later and it's still up
YEET
Umm 3:02 or 3:03
2:04 scares me the most..
@Miss_Perfection 1 the things he is saying
Echo The Neko Neko oh ok

2:38 😭😭😃😃😃😃😁😁FANTASTIC JOB, Jon Bellion❤️❤️🌈🌈
ooooo OOOOHHHH its morning in America!!
ohhhhhhh ohoh ohoh
ITS MORNING IN AMERICA
So much truth to this though frfr!🤔😏
I've been trying to keep up with all of these great expectation so i keep on faking
IT's kinda sad that the official version has so many less views.
Donetask Dontask why’s he sad?
Let's be honest it really sound like he's saying only in America... (It's true)
This is so good, the lyrics, the music... EVERY FUCKING THING
I live in Canada. I'm not mocking y'all. I love this song, I wanna be American so bad.
😂😂😂
MERICA
*aggressively toasts you with 2 pint of beer, holding a loaded rifle in the other hand*
Why though
Ok. .. A Canadian with a German flag as a profile pic, who says that he wants to live in America. Seems about right. XD
You really don't.
Planked to this entire song.
Every day we're shuffling.
2:11 and *lo, the town was talking. Good song though
I looked up the lyrics for this part and it *is* "all the town was talking". You and the person above you both almost scared me
*Vaccines, not oxy's :)
This song is honestly very thought-invoking, though!
I looked up the lyrics, its Oxy's. You almost scared me, I have been listening to this song since around when it first came out and thought I have had it wrong this whole time. lol
Its Oxy's, Oxy's are super addictive drugs that relieve pain.
How tf do you confuse vaccines with oxy's
bruh moment
Jon
I too have ADD
Who else screams the chorus at the top of their lungs??? Just me okay 😂😂😂
I do and my parents wonder about my mental healt
"LyRiC"
For all the peeps who think Canadians r mocking you welp were not I'm Canadian and I love this song and the Artist
kiana parisian I love this song and the artist too!
i love this song to
2:59 has to be the most relatable set of lyrics I've ever seen.
Favourite song and favourite singer
Not the music style but the way it’s a happy tune with not so happy lyrics reminds me of twenty one pilots
Please rise for the national anthem.
Oh no we didn't.
Canadians are probably listening to this and mocking us...... I mean its true soooo... lol
The problems that are brought to light in this song are cultural problems that are pertinent to all "Western" counties. Not just the USA.
I'm listening from India and I cant fucking relate lol.
dan852369
Yeah, I didn't read your comment my man.
I was replying to the OP.
WHAT don't you want to know....... ._.
This song reminds me of so many lives I think i never got to live
It sounds like a sunny, saturday morning, going out with a skateboard, listening to music and drinking coke from McDonald's
Applepi u even sound like tracer
@Marc Ellison haha, thanks love!
To me it sounds like drug addiction and not giving a shot about anything
This stuff hits deep....hehe :)
Is this copyright?
NO DUMMY
calm down people
Doesnt just sum up America. Sums up big city living anywhere. Wicked song though
Lmao but this is all of America. Not just the big cities
This is kinda a summary of how my life was at 14
Fox Spirit21 I am 14 and this is my life
You got your girlfriend pregnant and got her an abortion?
I'm gonna go on America's got talent when we get enough money to drive to the audition, I'm thinking of singing this what do y'all think?
Kritok Kokrit as long as she reads all of the contract first, it should be fine
The contract is really edgy though
do it so I can die peacefully
Do it you wont
Good luck
I'm pretty sure they have a list of songs that people can sing at the auditions. The only way to sing this on America's Got Talent is if you make it past auditions and onto the stage.
Truthful and realistic. Scary...
Good Morning. Yeah very real.
I love this song!
jeez, I think I just found my favorite singer :U:
Cade os 2018
I’m not saying this to be hateful, but this is the white version of This is America
Correction. This is America is the black version of this. Fact.
Benjamin Dudova this came out first
Yeah because black people dont really have high expectations and they dont aim for them either. At least the majority of them. I know because I'm black and live in an all black and Hispanic community.
HAHAHAHAHA GOOD SHIT
I suppose you have a point.
I like playing this song while I'm getting ready for work in the morning!! 😀
How does one even get 1600 on the sats and I could barely reach 1k on the sats like I have no motivation to study or do anything but wanna become something in life 🙃
Ahh white people problems
Bitch, what?
Who can relate with adhd? By the way, ADD is not a formal diagnosis anymore. It’s all ADHD, just ADHD subtypes as ADHD hyperactive, ADHD inattentive, or ADHD combined hyperactive and inattentive.
Jake...I have no idea what you just said
ADD isn't seen as a diagnosis anymore. ADD is now considered ADHD as an ADHD subtype. It's complicated. DSM crap always is.
Rita Byrd lol your reply though
I have ADD
I feel enlightened. Thank you! *Immediately starts thinking about how I can sound smart when I correct people now*
So glad about knowing bellion, this song has been in my playlist 4everr
nice vid :D
I don't know why. but i like it with 2 speed.
i dont like 2, but i like 1.25
Is actually sounds pretty good
Sounds really good at .75
Been listening to this everyday all day for a week. I have no life. If you couldn’t tell already.
same here pal
If you ask me, it's just another morning in America.
DBD120 Lmao yeah
You sound like AJR
Dryani Tenorio he does a lot
AJR sounds like him
Plot twist. Bellion is appart of the ajr cult
He definitely speaks facts when he says all my friends are addicted to porn and they wonder why I don't really like hanging out with them
Lazarrea Head I hate that I can relate to that.
stop staring at me
Abberdoodle 101 lol ikr
Abberdoodle 101 lol!!
he speaks life
Shane Dawson :0
1.25 speed
thank you
I didn’t know I needed that, thanks.
This just became my new anthem
MY GOD WHAT A MUSICAL LEGEND AND I WOULD EVEN SAY MUSICAL PRODIGY WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is intense and extremely well done. Truth.
im here from weak and morning in america mashup
ME TOO!!
IM NOT THE ONLY ONE?
Phantastic Sundae yup haha
Thats cool. I caught the mashup post Morning.
i love this song😍😎
This seriously speaks every mans life raised in the 1990s to 2000s
yep except my dad it was oxy not mom lol
but so true :) Jon Bellion is a Godsend to the current generations that were born 1985-current probably
Best comment I've ever read on YT lately
Jake You replied to that comment 2 weeks before already, lol.
Ive listened to this too many times. what are "oxy's"?
Oxycontin. Its a pain reliever that must be prescribed by a doctor, but is commonly abused anyways. It's common for those people to then get addicted to heroin due to the similar chemical make up and high from the drug.
Burning Cole thanks
drugs booi!
i know this has been answered but......have you heard of google?
Selling time release?
Time release prescriptions. so you know when to expect the high.
Because he mentions ADD, it's likely he meant selling time release adderall
IM CANADIAN
Thanks man :D that really made my day
Doge Animations g o o d
never become american, take it from an american.
lmao
You lucky little-
I'M BRITISH
It feels like this song is used in a movie
Warren Dave Cabahug what movie?
Diego C they meant the song sounds like it was meant for a movie. They didnt mean that it was actually used in a movie yet.
Yeah I mean it was kinda meant for a movie. The beats are gorgeous. Props to Jon Bellion :D
soooo good
That line where he says people are addicted to porn is so true
Look up “the great porn experiment.” It’s a Ted Talk
yeah i am addicted to porn but i want to change it. I seriously want to revolutionize my life.
Jake u religious?
Religion has a poor definition. How do you define it?
Fellow Canadian here👋 All the comments say this sums up America perfectly. Does it really? (I genuinely want to know)
The worst part about Canada is the terrible weather😂
Love but no knows this, but the USA has terrible weather as well. Just not as snow related. Oklahoma usually gets hit the hardest when it comes to tornadoes.
Haley Blazek Honestly yes, we are horrible!
yea but some people enjoy bad weather
the most popular foods in america were taken from other culture. hamburger is russian and look at that. also the problems in america are american problems not just new york area problems. for a long time we were skeptical of nuclear warfare in america. also the crime is up and school shootings are becoming a thing that doesnt just happen once every 3 years. america right now is worse than it ever has been. why do you think trump was elected? because of his motto "make america great again" he isnt doing it, but people want it. if america "wasnt so bad" we would have a bit of peace. we dont though. good comment and everything, its just wrong in certain parts
I actually made an entire presentation about American culture using only the lyrics from this song and statistics to back it up, so yes it is pretty accurate
Jon Bellion basically sings my life 😂❤️
i know 🎉
I’m listening to this on blast with my headphones while my friends are right in front of me cause I’m antisocial
Kaziah Rolon yeah im also antisocial
I have never related more to a youtube comment
Stop it. Get some help.
Diego C ^^^ 😂
1:50 to 2:20 is my favorite
0:00 to 4:22 is my favorite
I love jon bellion he practically explains my life
Brrooo this is amazing 💀👌💙
AJR is amazing 😩👏👍
1:14 I was legit at my locker
selling timed release?
kewel human bean I wish
Its the fbi rip
BeastPigSweg I knew it
Imag!ne Everyth!ng you dont have any oil on you by any chance?
Another great song by John!! Sounds about right for the times!
It’s spelt Jon wtf are you stupid
This is my go to. My release. My fun. My love. Everyday.
I was born in America, I live in the UK and wow I love this song. I feel like ideally relate to this song as I love that 💗✨
THIS IS SO TRUE!!!!!!!!!!
This song brought back some... bad memories... who am I joking you're not gonna let me not tell you, so I guess I should, the class president may as well be my sister but my sister lived. Me and my sister are there for each other. My dad doesn't understand me, neither does my mom. My sister and I have depression, she's getting better, but ive pretty much given up at this point, but somehow this song, along with her las words and baby don't cut, they were probably some of the only reasons I'm alive, nobody at my school cares except one person, I don't know but they really touched me, my best friend, I told him my life story and somehow he saved me. I'm only 11, and this cruel world just loves to kick dead horses.although you don't care, I just want to say that I don't wish this on my worst enemy. This is...cruel.
Well if you've made it this far you read the whole thing and I want to thank you for being considerate, but really I don't matter, there's no reason for you to be here, I'm just a waste of space. Goodbye
I've suffered my entire life from various mental health issues. Depression can often set in as a side effect to GAD which I have been dealing with since I was a child. I used to feel very similar to how you did and I promise you, weather you believe me or you dont, if you want to get better you will. You are so much stronger then you believe yourself to be. Please just be strong and never be afraid to ask for help. More people will understand you then you expect :)
i can relate...i have had problems but im telling you i listen to those same songs, ive gotten better but these things are not uncommon
btw dm me on insta @ nomoremonsters123 and we can talk more
marty reddy are u 11 and got depression...omg when i was only i was a dumb kid playin outside
hey fellow person who slowly gets sadder.
yeah you and i,
we're young.
but that just gives more time to pull up
don't grab a pickaxe at rock bottom
grab a rope and go back to the surface
i honestly hope you can get better and find help.
i found my cousin and she is one of the most helpful people ever.
find your helpful person.
