American Dream
You've got the nightshift for the rent
And the picket fence
Working your bones into the next check
Turn around what's left
I don't know what we're looking for here
All the time we have free
Is filled with smokes and a beer
I don't know what I'm counting down to
When I get to come home?
But it's not even to you
Tell me like we all know
We're to work ourselves to death
For an empty home
A full bank with a shiny car
That we'll never even use
To get far
Is that the dream?
That's why I'm leaving in the fall
The town the state and all
I'll just be taking my guitar
Whatever fits the car
I'm doing something I wanted to
Back when I was a kid
And had nothing to lose
Everybody's too scared of change
They don't know how to live
They just know to be safe
Tell me like we all know
We're to work ourselves to death
For an empty home
A full bank with a shiny car
That we'll never even use
To get far
Is that what I'm working for working for working for
I want more, I want more
Is that the American 'merican dream
I want more, I want more
Tell me like we all know
I'm to work myself to death
For an empty home
A full bank with a shiny car
That I'll never even use
To get far
Is that what I'm working for working for working for
I want more, I want more
Is that the American 'merican dream
I want more, I want more
It's not my dream
It's not my dream
And the picket fence
Working your bones into the next check
Turn around what's left
I don't know what we're looking for here
All the time we have free
Is filled with smokes and a beer
I don't know what I'm counting down to
When I get to come home?
But it's not even to you
Tell me like we all know
We're to work ourselves to death
For an empty home
A full bank with a shiny car
That we'll never even use
To get far
Is that the dream?
That's why I'm leaving in the fall
The town the state and all
I'll just be taking my guitar
Whatever fits the car
I'm doing something I wanted to
Back when I was a kid
And had nothing to lose
Everybody's too scared of change
They don't know how to live
They just know to be safe
Tell me like we all know
We're to work ourselves to death
For an empty home
A full bank with a shiny car
That we'll never even use
To get far
Is that what I'm working for working for working for
I want more, I want more
Is that the American 'merican dream
I want more, I want more
Tell me like we all know
I'm to work myself to death
For an empty home
A full bank with a shiny car
That I'll never even use
To get far
Is that what I'm working for working for working for
I want more, I want more
Is that the American 'merican dream
I want more, I want more
It's not my dream
It's not my dream
