Prozak - American Princess Lyrics






All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

It started in a nice suburban home with white picket fences
This was the a life of a little princess
Such a happy girl with pigtails and curls
Such a bright future when daddy gave her the world
She got a Benz on her sweet sixteen the most popular
Nominated the highschool queen and her father was being quite nice
I mean not like a father's love, more like something else it seems
I know it bothers her wishing she could wake from this dream.
I know it's haunting her nobody was there to hear her scream
What has her father done she wishes she was eighteen
So she can up and run as far away as she can be 'cause...

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

She met a guy and his name was Jack
He served 12 weeks in basic training now he's off to Iraq
She holds her breath and counts the days till he flies back
But he never will cause Jack has died in combat
Her hope it seems her broken dreams now filled the body bag
And in return for his life she gets a folded flag
With some dogtags, but man it's so sad
The fact Jack will never have a chance to be a dad
She broke down when she heard this
Knowing that money's the only purpose for Jack joining the service
And now she is nervous her kid is crying and the bills are piling in
She keeps a smile on the surface

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

American princess is now a queen
But without a king
Her weary eyes has seen a lot of things
Not always pleasent but the future brings
A former shell of herself
She is on the streets now she is doing things
Drugs and alcohol can only help to ease the pain
But it seems like nothing in this life can hide her shame
Walking in the rain, and man it's so strange
She is thinking to herself how the hell the world changed
A car pulls up along the curb side another customer
It's time to get inside
She demands to get her money before she goes farther
The man turns his face, it was her own father.

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

    +Bezemek505 I know right! Me too. I kept remembering the "Familiar faces, Worn out places" part and id google it and try to figure out what the song was and who sang it and i kept coming up with the Mad world song and i thought " Well this is it, but it's not... IT... you know? Then listening to it, i just clocked my eyes. and sat therefor a second.. then it hit me... "American Princess".. And there it was.

  47. G.... F....

    what album is this from? i can't find it anywhere!

    H.... N....

    @HumanBeing NotBeingHuman and your brain hurts because your developing a tumor from stupidity

    H.... N....

    @bladeofveng good one

    H.... N....

    @HumanBeing NotBeingHuman hey hey i got a joke....democracy

    H.... N....

    +HumanBeing NotBeingHuman +Omnipotent Onslaught  You are both silly as the best rapper/mc is a subjective matter. There is no best, there is only who you think is the best. We are all right, we are all wrong.

    H.... N....

    @HumanBeing NotBeingHuman That's your opinion. You just made yourself look even more... intelligent. Lay it to rest, you can't prove your opinion is superior to everyone else's by spouting more opinions.

  51. J.... ....

    @WREKS N9NE *thumbs up*

  52. D.... ....

    DOPE TRACK!

  53. T.... ....

    Dude.. a strange music radio channel.. Best fucking idea ever. The radio channels over here in The Netherlands suck dick, just like people's taste in music except for my friends who also listen to Strange.

  54. d.... ....

    he means how the rest of us are judged because the majority of the generation listens to... crap

  55. T.... ....

    agree 100 %!

  56. D.... ....

    im 17 and i agree

  57. B.... ....

    you have people whit skill all over the world, some of them only get to the public whit the help of people who share them on social networks like facebook and etc, its a shame because prozak and tech are real good singers and are unknown for so many people...
    and yes we are controlled by media to only see the "good (playback) ones" who are paid by the young generation because they don't know this kind of real music
    this is what i think, each one have a different way to think...

  58. U.... ....

    Once again, if they are being programmed by others for the majority of their life then how is it their fault?

  59. a.... c....

    so what did her father do to her

  60. t.... ....

    um yes it is there fucking fault, theyd rather listen to illuminati puppets then real talent, people are being programmed..I swear, its like every wack ass artist gets the most views and attention, but the ones wit the real skill are held at the bottom. Wtf?

    t.... ....

    Zerkonium prozac likes what he does though, I'm sure if he got a huge offer to make it big he wouldn't because he just goes to Bars to perform, and he seems to love it. Btw if you guys like Prozac then also check out K- Rino!

  61. L.... P....

    Its cause prozak and tech n9ne are all real artists and not sell outs.

  62. G.... G....

    God damn, this song made me fucking cry.

  63. N.... ....

    its not really their faults they didn't have the oppurtunity to learn the real vibes of music all they learned was the shit on the radio and now they think thats real music and your right it does suck

  64. M.... ....

    16 years old and i know that feel.

  65. M.... ....

    proof that not all of the kids are fools

  66. T.... ....

    Great !!!!

  67. N.... ....

    maybe, maaaaybeee your generation isn't so bad as i thought

  68. M.... T....

    you said it man!

  69. M.... T....

    I hate your generation too lmao

  70. N.... ....

    I'm 17, ur wrong, much music likes niki no1 else.

  71. R.... K....

    this is alot bettere thhan her

  72. G.... D....

    I'm sayin. Underground is A LOT better than Mainstream.

  73. d.... ....

    music is supposed to make u feel emotions

  74. C.... S....

    rap nowadays is disgusting, i miss when rappers actually had talent

  75. Z.... ....

    THANK YOU!!! finally someone from this fucked up generation who sees the way my generation does.. heh, only 4 years earlier..

  76. t.... ....

    this song makes me kinda sad :(

  77. t.... ....

    i hate your generation too, i wish there were more kids with the same taste as you man, much love homie keep the underground real

  78. T.... E....

  81. R.... A....

    You know what's really nice to know? That I'm really not alone. There are loads of sweet people going through pain. No matter what the situation, Whether a heartbreak, or a literal death ; We are all in pain. And its just really fucking nice to know that I'm not alone on 'pain'.
