IOU U.S. Girls

(You didn't choose to be born)
And I never heard of anyone who has
I never known no baby with a plan
For how to survive, how to stay alive

(You shower with your silver on)
And you brush you hair with a round brush you keep in your bag
And now I do the same, it seems like the only whole plan
To lead a double life, two chances to get it right

(Hidden for a moment)
But I could see it in your almost drowning face
That you don't know what's up, what's down, what to do
And that's how come all those tattoos, and I'm talking about all of mine too

IOU
IOU
I do
I do
I do

When my brother learned to drive
He said no car's gonna pass him by, no way
Yeah, he said he would cut the throat of anyone who tried
And that was just one of his lies, let me tell you mine
