Teenage pornstars, living for nothing now. Nightlife baby, Ooo ohaooo. Look out, shape up, before you get to turn around. Wake up honey, Ooo ohaooo. We're not living in America, but we're not sorry. I knew there was something that we never had, but we don't worry. No we're not living in America, but we're not sorry. No we don't care about the world today. We're not sorry for you. Pretty as a picture, I'm dancing the night away. And don't stop baby, Ooo ohaooo. I learned my way, I'm living for something now. It's hardcore honey, Ooo ohaooo. We're not living in America, but we're not sorry. I knew there was something that we never had, but we don't worry. No we're not living in America, but we're not sorry. No we don't care about the world today. We're not sorry for you. We're not living in America x4 We're not liviiing!! We're not living in America, but we're not sorry. I knew there was something that we never had, but we don't worry. No we're not living in America, but we're not sorry. No we don't care about the world today. We're not sorry for you. My baby, sweet baby, Ohh baby baby baby baby aahhhh..
