American Dream Songtext
Oh
Mama's always sad, Daddy's pissed off
'Cause he spent all the money he never had
Tryna put his little girl through rehab
Takin' on the demons she had
Brother's goin' crazy
Couple weeks, he's about to have his baby
And he don't love his lady
As far as I can see, we're just livin'
Mama's always sad, Daddy's pissed off
'Cause he spent all the money he never had
Tryna put his little girl through rehab
Takin' on the demons she had
Brother's goin' crazy
Couple weeks, he's about to have his baby
And he don't love his lady
As far as I can see, we're just livin'
We're just livin'
This American dream
I still wanna believe
But in times like these
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
From this American dream
Oh
Straight out of college
She lives at homewith her folks
'Cause those ol' student loans hold her hostage
What's a degree when you can't eat
Lookin' for a job every damn day of the week
And as far as I can see
Just another sad soul, 'nother sad soul
Chasin' that American dream I wanna believe
But on days like these
I wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
From this American dream
Oh
Soldier comin' home
Left to fend for his own
'Cause he can't get the V.A. on the phone
For the medicine he needs
Helps him forget everything that he's seen
Welcome home to the American
American dream
I still wanna believe
But in times like these
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
From this American dream
I still wanna believe
But in times like these
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
From this American dream
Oh, this American dream
Somebody wake me up, oh
From this American dream
This American dream
I still wanna believe
But in times like these
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
From this American dream
Oh
Straight out of college
She lives at homewith her folks
'Cause those ol' student loans hold her hostage
What's a degree when you can't eat
Lookin' for a job every damn day of the week
And as far as I can see
Just another sad soul, 'nother sad soul
Chasin' that American dream I wanna believe
But on days like these
I wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
From this American dream
Oh
Soldier comin' home
Left to fend for his own
'Cause he can't get the V.A. on the phone
For the medicine he needs
Helps him forget everything that he's seen
Welcome home to the American
American dream
I still wanna believe
But in times like these
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
From this American dream
I still wanna believe
But in times like these
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
From this American dream
Oh, this American dream
Somebody wake me up, oh
From this American dream
