American Dream
I had a face so cute made a young girl cryAnd I could blow 'em away with just a wink of my eyeI got all dolled up on a Saturday nightCan't find a lady so I'll start a fightHey but ain't that the American DreamBut at school the young boys would assemble down in the parking lotAnd we spoke of the homecoming queen and all the goodies she's gotWell those stories would choke a semiAnd every dare was do or dieHey but ain't that the American Dream[Bridge:]Well I grew up believin' I could do what I wanted to doWhen I got a little older I found that it just wasn't trueThere's gotta be a place for meWhere I can out-be just what I want to beHey but ain't that the American DreamSome of the girls are out teaching high school biologyAnd all of my boyfriends they work down at Cummmins factoryBut me I'm still out on the streets trying to locate some destinyHey but ain't that the American Dream[Bridge] Aus Songtexte Mania
