American Dream

We all want the picket fence
With the big old yard, 2.37 kids
We go to work and we pay our bills
Financial security into our wills
And when the sun goes down we go to sleep
And when it comes back up we press repeat
And that's just how it seems to be
When you're living the American Dream
When you're living the American Dream

I'm living the American Dream
Where the only thing we love is comfortable monotony
I'm living the American Dream
This cyclical routine makes it hard to breathe
But I'm happy, I'm living the dream
Yeah I'm happy, I'm living the dream

We all want the picket fence
'Cause we build up walls and don't let others in
We smile and wave and pretend we're fine
But behind closed doors, we get drunk on wine
And when the sun goes down we go to sleep
And when it comes back up we press repeat
And that's just how it seems to be
When you're living the American Dream
When you're living the American Dream

I'm living the American Dream
Where the only thing we love is comfortable monotony
I'm living the American Dream
This cyclical routine makes it hard to breathe
But I'm happy, I'm living the dream
Yeah I'm happy, I'm living the dream

Yeah I can't wait to graduate
To get a job so I can retire one day
And if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
I swear I'm fine, yeah we're feeling great
But maybe that's 'cause we medicate

I'm living the American Dream
Where the only thing we love is comfortable monotony
I'm living the American Dream
This cyclical routine makes it hard to breathe
But I'm happy, I'm living the dream
Yeah I'm happy, I'm living the dream
Yeah I'm happy, I'm living the dream
