LYRICS:

How many people rise and say
"My brain's so awfully glad to be here
For yet another mindless day"?

Now, I've got all morning to obsessively accrue
A small nation of meaningful objects
And they've got to represent me too

By this afternoon, I'll live in debt
By tomorrow, be replaced by children

How many people rise and think
"Oh good, the stranger's body's still here
Our arrangement hasn't changed"?

Now, I've got a lifetime to consider all the ways
I've grown more disappointing to you
As my beauty warps and fades
I suspect you feel the same
When I was young, I dreamt of a passionate obligation to a roommate

Is this the part where I get all I ever wanted?
Who said that?
Can I get my money back?

Just a little bored in the USA
Oh, just a little bored in the USA
Save me, white Jesus
Bored in the USA
Oh, they gave me a useless education
And a subprime loan
On a craftsman home
Keep my prescriptions filled
And now I can't get off
But I can kind of deal
Oh, with being bored in the USA
Oh, just a little bored in the USA
Save me, President Jesus
I'm bored in the USA
How did it happen?
Bored in the USA

I live for the moment where he sings, sheepishly, "fuck" at 3:17 . It's little things peppered in like this that make me so glad his performances are online because he inserts so many bonuses into live shows that differ from the album version, it's like treasure hunting. This man is a gift. I love you Fashion Jorge Machete!!!

[lukelowrance]

This may be the best version of this song I’ve ever heard

[elijahsawyer]

This was a killer performance at the Columbus show sept 23rd. You’re so alive on stage, I couldn’t stop fucking smiling

[tkjordan]

What I would've given to see this

[alanmalcheski]

Asheville is a hot spot for ufo sightings. I was there during a thunder storm. I believe it.

<3 Front row to this Asheville, NC epicness, I was!!! <3
Incredible show, through and through..

Dear Mr. Cameraman,
I would LOOOOVE to see the footage the fan meeting after this show...
I don't have any pictures.. And it would mean so much to be able to see such...

Specifically when hugging a certain fan a few extra times "because of what [I] was saying"
Thank you so much in advance :):):) !!!

[Dr.JeremyDunks]

Was the laughter recorded or are the fans that fucking awesome that they contributed it to the song?

[michaelcantwell]

These clips are so awesome I live in Houston and don't that FJM will ever tour here so this maybe the only way to see him live

[jasonthefates]

Fuck what they say about your belief. You're still hip to me!

[jasonthefates]

Reddy Complected. I still think the Gogurt tune should make setlist. Regardless. super tight show. Band is as tight as he is with his vocals no pitchyness. "I barely keep my scripts filled & i barely get off" Greatest lyric of all time. Because its so fucking true lest you quadruple up!!!! Waste of $ meditate lol

[jasonthefates]

Thanks! Right? Quit being questionable over the Reddy Complected Jesus. JESUS LOVES YOU ALL HE PLAYS NO POLITICS OR CREATES FAKE COVID FLUENZA. GOOD ALWAYS PREVAILS
