Nightmare
I just wanna go out and party with some friends
But I can't have time to myself cuz I'm working a dead-end
So much time is wasted so much time is running out
I'm not filled with joy or hope
I'm only filled with doubt
But I'm one of the lucky ones
One of the lucky ones
That's what I tell myself
Am I one of the lucky ones
One of the lucky ones
Am I lying to myself
It's the American Dream that we're all striving for
But it's only for wealthy and rich not the poor
And they're sipping champagne while we're fighting their wars
I don't wanna be the rich man's whore
Every time I go out I see another case
Instead of building shelters we put spikes up in their place
Why are people starving if we have the food to give
Don't we have the freedom every one of us to live
Guess I'm one of the lucky ones
One of the lucky ones
Life shouldn't be this way
If I'm one of the lucky ones
One of the lucky ones
I think it's time to pray
It's the American Dream that we're all striving for
But it's only for wealthy and rich not the poor
And they're sipping champagne while we're fighting their wars
I don't wanna be the rich man's whore
It's the American
It's the American Nightmare
It's the American Dream that we're all striving for
But it's only for wealthy and rich not the poor
And they're sipping champagne while we're fighting their wars
I don't wanna be the rich man's whore
It's the American
It's the American Nightmare
But I can't have time to myself cuz I'm working a dead-end
So much time is wasted so much time is running out
I'm not filled with joy or hope
I'm only filled with doubt
But I'm one of the lucky ones
One of the lucky ones
That's what I tell myself
Am I one of the lucky ones
One of the lucky ones
Am I lying to myself
It's the American Dream that we're all striving for
But it's only for wealthy and rich not the poor
And they're sipping champagne while we're fighting their wars
I don't wanna be the rich man's whore
Every time I go out I see another case
Instead of building shelters we put spikes up in their place
Why are people starving if we have the food to give
Don't we have the freedom every one of us to live
Guess I'm one of the lucky ones
One of the lucky ones
Life shouldn't be this way
If I'm one of the lucky ones
One of the lucky ones
I think it's time to pray
It's the American Dream that we're all striving for
But it's only for wealthy and rich not the poor
And they're sipping champagne while we're fighting their wars
I don't wanna be the rich man's whore
It's the American
It's the American Nightmare
It's the American Dream that we're all striving for
But it's only for wealthy and rich not the poor
And they're sipping champagne while we're fighting their wars
I don't wanna be the rich man's whore
It's the American
It's the American Nightmare
