[Intro]

(Oh-oh-oh)


[Spoken]

All the way


[Verse 1]

Cigarettes and tiny liquor bottles

Just what you'd expect inside her new Balenciaga

Viral mess, turned dreams into an empire

Self-made success, now she rolls with Rockefellers


[Pre-Chorus]

Survival of the richest, the city's ours until the fall

They're Monaco and Hamptons bound

(But we don't feel like outsiders at all)


[Chorus]

We are the new Americana (Oh-oh-oh)

High on legal marijuana (Sky-high)

Raised on Biggie and Nirvana (Oh-oh-oh)

We are the nеw Americana (Oh-oh)


[Verse 2]

Young James Dean, somе say he looks just like his father

But he could never love somebody's daughter

Football team, he loved more than just the game

So he vowed to be his husband at the altar


[Pre-Chorus]

Survival of the richest, the city's ours until the fall

They're Monaco and Hamptons bound

(But we don't feel like outsiders at all)


[Chorus]

We are the new Americana (Oh-oh-oh)

High on legal marijuana (Sky-high)

Raised on Biggie and Nirvana (Oh-oh-oh)

We are the new Americana (Oh-oh)


[Bridge]

And we know very well who we are

So we hold it down when summer starts

What kind of dough have you been spending?

What kind of bubblegum have you been blowing lately?


[Chorus]

We are the new Americana (Oh-oh-oh)

High on legal marijuana (Sky-high)

Raised on Biggie and Nirvana (Oh-oh-oh)

We are the new Americana (Oh-oh)

Let me here you fucking sing it!

We are the new Americana

Fuck yeah!

High on legal marijuana (Sky high)

Raised on Biggie and Nirvana

We are the new Americana (Oh-oh)
