NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Made in america 

Nineten fifteen nine 

Born down by the factories 

Cross the jersey city line 

Raised on radio 

Just a jukebox kid 

I was alright 

Just a small town homeboy 

With big time dreams 

Foollowing his conscience 

In a world full of extremes 

Fresh outta high school 

Only seventeen 

I was alright 

Blinded by my vision 

There ws just no turning back 

Lika a runaway train 

Life was steaming down the track 

You'd say I'd never make it out 

But I kept on hanging on 

Every night I prayed to jesus 

And held my head up strong 

I was alright 

I landed on my feet 

Made in america 

I was brought up on the street 

My old man's independence 

Seemed good enough for me 

I was made in america 

Made in america 

Never cared much about politics 

Til I was twenty one 

But I woke up when lennon 

Found the wrong end of a gun 

He left his inspiration 

Before he said boodbye 

And we were alright 

We all lose out innocence 

It's impossible to hold 

I didn't know it then 

I had a packet full of gold 

When I kissed those younger days goodbye 

It almost broke my heart 

I was going to ghrough my growing pains 

I was driving in the dark 

But I was alright 

I landed on my feet 

Made in america 

I was brought up on the street 

I'm facing up to freedom 

And chacing down my dream 

I was made in america 

Yeah I was made in america 

Yeah we all lose our innocence 

It's impossible to hold 

I just didn't know it then 

I had a packet full of gold 

When they said I'd never make it 

I just kept on hanging on 

And every night I prayed to jesus 

And I held my head up strong 

And I was alright 

I landed on my feet 

Made in america 

I was brought up on the street 

Facing up to who I am 

Chasing down my dream 

I was made in america 

Yeah I was made in america
