About A&W

"A&W" is a commentary on the complexities of modern relationships and the societal expectations placed upon individuals, especially women. The lyrics suggest a sense of detachment from traditional ideals of love and commitment, instead focusing on fleeting experiences and self-serving pursuits. The line "This is the experience of being an American whore" could be interpreted as a commentary on the hypersexualization and objectification of women in American culture. .

A&W Lyrics

[00:37.62] I haven't done a cartwheel since I was nine
[00:44.08] I haven't seen my mother in a long, long time
[00:49.65] I mean, look at me
[00:50.73] Look at the length of my hair and my face, the shape of my body
[00:55.71] Do you really think I give a damn
[00:58.02] What I do after years of just hearin' them talking?
[01:01.99] I say I live in Rosemead, really, I'm at the Ramada
[01:07.97] It doesn't really matter, doesn't really, really matter
[01:14.35] Call him up, come into my bedroom
[01:17.45] Ended up, we fuck on the hotel floor
[01:23.11] It's not about havin' someone to love me anymore
[01:29.45] This is the experience of bein' an American whore
[01:35.55]
[01:45.20] Called up one drunk, called up another, Forensic Files wasn't on
[01:52.08] Watching Teenage Diary of a Girl, wondering what went wrong
[01:56.96] I'm a princess, I'm divisive, ask me why, why, why I'm like this
[02:03.68] Maybe I'm just kind of like this, I don't know maybe, I'm just like this
[02:09.95] I say I live in Rosemead, really, I'm at the Ramada
[02:15.99] It doesn't really matter, doesn't really, really matter
[02:21.92] Call him up, he comes over again
[02:24.65] Yeah, I know I'm over my head but, oh
[02:30.87] It's not about havin' someone to love me anymore
[02:36.92] No, this is the experience of bein' an American Whore
[02:43.99]
[02:52.95] I mean look at my hair
[02:54.55] Look at the length of it and the shape of my body
[02:58.83] If I told you that I was raped
[03:01.28] Do you really think that anybody would think
[03:04.54] I didn't ask for it? I didn't ask for it
[03:07.59] I won't testify, I already fucked up my story
[03:10.82] On top of this, mm, so many other things you can't believe
[03:17.44] Did you know a singer can still be lookin' like a sidepiece at 33?
[03:23.48] God's a charlatan, don't look back, babe
[03:26.75] Puts the shower on while he calls me
[03:29.63] Slips out the back door to talk to me
[03:32.73] I'm invisible, look how you hold me
[03:35.68] I'm invisible, I'm invisible (here's my body, I'm available)
[03:38.85] I'm a ghost now, look how they found me
[03:41.65] It's not about havin' someone to love me anymore (uh, okay)
[03:47.57] No, this is the experience of bein' an American whore
[03:53.82] It's not about havin' someone to love me anymore
