(Lets go) (Nightmare) (Rock) Dressed head to toe black on black, Three bunnies in the back of my Cadillac. With me its gonna be a good story to tell; Cash, grass, and ass on the highway to hell. Be careful what you wish for when you dream I make the good girls bad, and bad girls worse; Nice guys are last 'cause I'm always first. I'm a freak show sucker for how it feels; Turn the girl next door into hell on heels. I'm red white blue tattooed and just don't care; I'm your all-American nightmare. If you wanna run away I can give you a ride, I'm a one way ticket to the darker side. So come with me, baby lets lose some sleep. But don't mistake me for a dream. I make the good girls bad, and bad girls worse; Nice guys are last 'cause I'm always first. I'm a freak show sucker for how it feels; Turn the girl next door into hell on heels. I'm red white blue tattooed and just don't care; I'm your all-American nightmare. They try to lock me up and throw away the key, But they're never gonna hold down a freak like me. I'm an outcast, smoking grass, living for free, And I got everything you want, But nothing that you need. (Stick to me baby) (Oh) I make the good girls bad, and bad girls worse; Nice guys are last 'cause I'm always first. I'm a freak show sucker for how it feels; Turn the girl next door into hell on heels. I'm red white blue tattooed and just don't care; I'm your all-American nightmare. I'm your all-American nightmare I'm the all-American nightmare I'm the all-American nightmare And I've got nothing that you want.
