My American Dream
You don't know just where I've been
Tell me when you walk my skin
I paid 30 miles of sin
I been right up and back again
You don't taste the sting of my kin
Kiss my ass 'cause I'm gonna win
I been to Hell and back again
I'm the root of my own man
Yeah beat up and pushed down
Called upon to figure out
No nod, no grace
Build it up right in their face
Lied to
No doubt
Rise right up and hear us shout
Push it back right in their face
Yeah sitting here living my
American Dream
(It's never what it seems)
Yeah bursting through my veins
The American Dream
(It's never what it seems)
Where all I can see is red
It's different in my head
Believe what we've been fed
The American Dream
You can make up, take off or win
My heart is made of muscle and tin
I take a hit on my own chin
I get right up and swing and grin
You have never seen my disgrace
But I live it right on my own face
I hate that we didn't win
Build it up
Yeah build it again
No need, no taste
See us living our own grace
No time, no place
Will not watch our own disgrace
We hear, we see
We make our own misery
All our losses, our mistakes
Yeah sitting here living my
American Dream
(It's never what it seems)
Yeah bursting through my veins
The American Dream
(It's never what it seems)
Where all I can see is red
It's different in my head
Believe what we've been fed
The American Dream
SOLO
I can feel its rotten heart
And all of it is torn apart
I swear I feel betrayed
And admit I'm a bit dismayed
There is no American Dream
Just a movie with a good scene
There's nothing left but shame
The death of the American Dream
SPEECH
Yeah sitting here living my
American Deam
(It's never what it seems)
Yeah bursting through my veins
The American Dream
(It's never what it seems)
Where all I can see is red
It's different in my head
Believe what we've been fed
The American Dream
Yeah sitting here living my
American Dream
Tell me when you walk my skin
I paid 30 miles of sin
I been right up and back again
You don't taste the sting of my kin
Kiss my ass 'cause I'm gonna win
I been to Hell and back again
I'm the root of my own man
Yeah beat up and pushed down
Called upon to figure out
No nod, no grace
Build it up right in their face
Lied to
No doubt
Rise right up and hear us shout
Push it back right in their face
Yeah sitting here living my
American Dream
(It's never what it seems)
Yeah bursting through my veins
The American Dream
(It's never what it seems)
Where all I can see is red
It's different in my head
Believe what we've been fed
The American Dream
You can make up, take off or win
My heart is made of muscle and tin
I take a hit on my own chin
I get right up and swing and grin
You have never seen my disgrace
But I live it right on my own face
I hate that we didn't win
Build it up
Yeah build it again
No need, no taste
See us living our own grace
No time, no place
Will not watch our own disgrace
We hear, we see
We make our own misery
All our losses, our mistakes
Yeah sitting here living my
American Dream
(It's never what it seems)
Yeah bursting through my veins
The American Dream
(It's never what it seems)
Where all I can see is red
It's different in my head
Believe what we've been fed

Where all I can see is red
It's different in my head
Believe what we've been fed
The American Dream
Yeah sitting here living my
American Dream
