Pity Party in the USA

A couple of friends on YouTube suggested this title.

Lyrics

Sometimes you get what you want when you see it
Sometimes you can be quick on your feet
Sometimes when they don’t want you they don’t want you
And then they put you back on the street

Too young
Can’t get in
It doesn’t matter
What you say
You’re
Locked out
Freaked out
Pity party in the USA

Sometimes you can just go where you belong
Sometimes you can get in if you’re strong
Sometimes when they close the door they close the door
And then it feels like everything’s gone wrong

Too young
Can’t get in
It doesn’t matter
What you say
You’re
Locked out
Freaked out
Pity party in the USA

Age is only a number
That is something to remember
When you’re backed into a corner
And you can’t get out from under
(repeat)

Pity party in the USA
Pity party in the USA
(repeat)

Age is only a number
Pity party in the USA
(repeat)

I like the alliteration of "locked out/ freaked out." I also like the overly serious tone in contrast to the implied mockery in the title line.
