Masterpiece Grace Potter

Somewhere in the middle of the seventh grade
I realized that everyone my age was an asshole
Yeah, yeah, yeah
From there everything began to escalate
It's much more fun to climb a gate than a flagpole
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I was the long lost kid in the middle
Of the long lost American Dream
So I picked up my paintbrush and started on my masterpiece

I had no money but I had the time
Got some sticky little fingers, the world was mine
In my klepto phase
I stole my way across the deep blue sea
I went looking for my dignity
Stamp my passport
If you please

Yeah, I was a teenage troublemaker
On the run from the mall police
Yeah, but trouble's an important chapter in my masterpiece

He was wearing eyeliner, had a funny name
And he told me that his daddy was an Attache
And he made me a woman
In the middle of the ocean
When I touched down in Montreal
I saw my future, yes, I saw it all
Singing '"Yes I can, can, yes I can, can, yes, ma'am"
