American Dream 2.0
Tina used to work at a laundromat
Serviced half the neighborhood
Packed up her Honda with this and that
Headed off for Hollywood
She said, "Baby, I don't know where I'm going
But I know it ain't good
I would start all over, baby, if I could"
When no one gives you what you need (I am standing on the edge of nowhere)
We all survive on what we feed (and the thunderclouds are circling)
Beg, borrow, steal, or maybe bleed (someone, tell me, am I still alone here)
Look at me now, it's the American Dream
Linda was a pharmacist's daughter
Grew up with pills for her pain
She never did what she oughta
One shot, she's hungry again
She said, "Pinch me, 'cause I think I'm sleeping
And it's been a long time
I keep searching for a feeling I can claim as mine"
When no one gives you what you need (I am standing on the edge of nowhere)
We all survive on what we feed (and the thunderclouds are circling)
Beg, borrow, steal, or maybe bleed (someone, tell me, am I still alone here)
Look at me now, it's the American Dream
(I am standing on the edge of nowhere)
(And the thunderclouds are circling)
(Someone, tell me, am I still alone here)
Ella believed in tomorrow
Beauty would win her a throne
No one could touch her deep sorrow
Demons wouldn't leave her alone
She wrote, "Sorry, but I see my future
As an angry man's wife
This way, at least I'll sleep peaceful
For once in my life"
When no one gives you what you need (I am standing on the edge of nowhere)
We all survive on what we feed (and the thunderclouds are circling)
Beg, borrow, steal, or maybe bleed (someone, tell me, am I still alone here)
Look at me now, it's the American Dream
When no one gives you what you need (I am standing on the edge of nowhere)
We all survive on what we feed (and the thunderclouds are circling)
Beg, borrow, steal, or maybe bleed (someone, tell me, am I still alone here)
Look at me now, it's the American Dream
Who gets to live the American Dream?
What the hell is the American Dream?
