The American Dream (feat. Giselle, Paola Bennet, Jordan Popky, Yify Zhang, Ann Marie Nacchio, The Defectives, Elijah Mann & Dr. Blum)
It's all a lie
This thing you want us to buy
This American Dream
Means nothing
You can't deny
That we're all unhappy
And this American Dream
Is nothing
Can I blow your mind
With a moment of your time
We were founded on a genocide
Built a history out of lies
So we could celebrate ourselves
And fall asleep at night
How they lured us all
With the fantasy of freedom
Just pledge your allegiance
And take what you want
As long as you stand on your own two feet
Don't be a drain on our society
Just be all you can be
It's all a lie
This thing you want us to buy
This American Dream
Means nothing
You can't deny
That we're all unhappy
And this American Dream
Is nothing
So you think you're blessed
Can I just get this off my chest
You're a product of your circumstance
Nothing more and nothing less
Any belief your somehow meant for this
Well that's hubris at it's best
Oh and
There's no being in the sky
With a sympathetic eye
Looking down as you cry
Help me to beat this other guy
He's the villain in my privileged life
Promise to thank you
When I get mine
It's all a lie
This thing you want us to buy
This American Dream
Means nothing
You can't deny
That we're all unhappy
And this American Dream
Is nothing more
Than a way to control
It's nothing more
Than a weight on the soul
It's all a lie
This thing you want us to buy
This American Dream
Means nothing
You can't deny
That we're all unhappy
And this American Dream
Is nothing
It's all a lie
This thing you want us to buy
This American Dream
Means nothing
You can't deny
That we're all unhappy
And this American Dream
Is nothing
Nothing
It's nothing
This thing you want us to buy
This American Dream
Means nothing
You can't deny
That we're all unhappy
And this American Dream
Is nothing
Can I blow your mind
With a moment of your time
We were founded on a genocide
Built a history out of lies
So we could celebrate ourselves
And fall asleep at night
How they lured us all
With the fantasy of freedom
Just pledge your allegiance
And take what you want
As long as you stand on your own two feet
Don't be a drain on our society
Just be all you can be
It's all a lie
This thing you want us to buy
This American Dream

This thing you want us to buy
This American Dream
Means nothing
You can't deny
That we're all unhappy
And this American Dream
Is nothing
Nothing
It's nothing
