I've been programmed to behave like an average
American Girl
I've been programmed to behave like a generational victim
I've been programmed to behave
I've been programmed to behave;
And I learned it all from Small Wonder
Repeat after me,
While you are getting sleepy
You will obey
The guidelines of your age
When you are 20, you will act 20
When you are 40, well, Good-Bye
I've been programmed to behave I've been programmed
To behave I've been programmed to behave
Do you read me?
Are your circuits free?
We designed your mood
To fit your demographic group
If you are 20, you must be lazy
If you are 40- money-mine
I've been programmed to behave
I've been programmed to behave
No, I will not listen to you
You clutter and clatter, so I just cover and clamor,
"I-I-I'm anything"
No, I will not listen to you
You clutter and clatter, so I just cover and clamor,
"I-I-I'm anything"
Testing 1-2-3
Clear the line for me
Don't go out your door;
It's a barometric war
When it is 20, it's the Antartic
When it is 40 there's worse to come
I've been programmed to behave
I've been programmed to behave
(Chorus)
I've been programmed to behave like an average
American Girl
I've been programmed to behave like a generation victim
I've been programmed to behave
I've been programmed to behave
