Ian Eskelin › Lyrics › American Idle

I wanna be on my TV
I wanna wish that I was me
If I could just be 23 forever
I’d be the heartthrob of the tweens

Vegas lives inside my veins
Dating Britney is my dream

So watch yourself

American Idle, cash and style
Tell me what I’m worshiping
American Idle, we need revival
Bigger than the next big thing, that’s right
We need to see the light, oh, yeah

Disney’s renting out my head
Hefner redesigned my bed
My conscience chimes in like a prize announcer
To tell me good times are ahead

I snuggle with my credit cards
And I pray “God bless the mega stars”

Go watch yourself

American Idle, cash and style
Tell me what I’m worshiping
American Idle, we need revival
Bigger than the next big thing, that’s right
We need to see the light, oh, yeah

And everybody says

Hey
(Hey)
Ho
(Ho)
Throw your mojo out the window

Hey
(Hey)
Ho
(Ho)
Lose the world but baby gain your soul, come on

American Idle, cash and style
Tell me what I’m worshiping
American Idle, we need revival
Bigger than the next big thing, that’s right
We need to see the light

And everybody says

Hey
(Hey)
Ho
(Ho)
Throw your mojo out the window

Hey
(Hey)
Ho
(Ho)
Lose the world but baby gain your soul
