American Dream
Red, White, Blue
Is getting harder to claim
Cuz of you
And your version of the great
Gets worse by the day
In the words of Marvin what is going on??
Got kids locked up in cages
Innocence is gone
Serving 20 years for brown skin and a bong
Don't you think somethings wrong?
The American dream
Oh what does it mean
Is it just me who can't tell??
Are we supposed to be proud
And just not too loud
While we're all living in hell??
I don't feel as free as you say I am
Pretty soon we'll all be damned
Chasing after something make bеlieve
The Amеrican Dream
It's not what it seems
Now's the time
To scream as loud as you can
Raise your signs
Look em in the eyes
Let's make em listen and then
Let's put this to an end
Cuz I pray for our daughters
That they'll be safe for starters
And when the world starts hitting
They'll know how to hit back harder
It's seems so god damn simple
To treat people like people
Is it too much to ask to be mother fucking equal?
The American dream
Oh what does it mean
Cuz it sure as hell ain't this
We put all of our pride
In the stars and the stripes
Yet we all know what we did
I don't feel as free as you say I am
It's clear you don't give a damn
Preaching what you want us to believe
The American Dream
It's not what it seems
Some people dream they don't get stopped
Some people dream that one day they gon' make it to the top
Some people dream to get a little more than what they got
Some people dream
Some people dream of walking home alone
Some people dream of strapping on a badge and a gun
Some people dream they could talk so they don't have to run
Some people dream
Some people dream of sleeping safe at night
Some people dream the answer didn't mean we had to fight
But some people dream of not having to beg for civil rights
Some people dream
Is getting harder to claim
Cuz of you
And your version of the great
Gets worse by the day
In the words of Marvin what is going on??
Got kids locked up in cages
Innocence is gone
Serving 20 years for brown skin and a bong
Don't you think somethings wrong?
The American dream
Oh what does it mean
Is it just me who can't tell??
Are we supposed to be proud
And just not too loud
While we're all living in hell??
I don't feel as free as you say I am
Pretty soon we'll all be damned
Chasing after something make bеlieve

Some people dream
