American Dream

Well you've got one eye open
On your backstreet cruising
You know you had a surprise

But with the radio talking
And a cool moon walking
Over your little eyes

And it's like, OK don't you cry in your sleep
You know this wasn't my American dream
Well you've got one eye steady on the radio baby
You know you ain't fooling me

And it's like talk it up, talk it up, talk it up anyway

And it's like every single day
Things just happen this way
You know you're running as fast as you can

But the kids read the news
And the kids they get confused
It just keeps coming like a hurricane

And it's like talk it up, talk it up, talk it up anyway

Well OK don't you cry in your sleep
You know this wasn't my American dream
Well you've got one eye steady on the radio baby
You know you ain't fooling me

And it's like talk it up, talk it up, talk it up anyway

So don't go cutting down trees
When you're trying to get lost
In my forest baby

Don't you cut down me
Well talk it up, talk it up, talk it up anyway

And it's like, OK don't you cry in your sleep
You know this wasn't my American dream
Well you've got one eye steady on the radio baby
You know you ain't fooling me

And it's like talk it up, talk it up, talk it up anyway
