American Dream

A man drops out of college freshman year
His father beat him and his mother committed suicide when he was 12

Despite the abuse he endures
His family is quite well off
In search of a better family
He joins the military

In 2009
He saw a man beheaded
He then realized
Where his life was headed

Of course he broke down
Cause something like this was new
He grew a hatred for anyone
With darker skin than his

He was traumatized, desensitized, and sanitized like new
He saw the violence normalized and realized what he'd do

A child shot
A mother slaughtered
Blew up someone's daughter

Shot at the man who raised 3 kids
Leave them with no father

Each bullet this young man shot
Petrified his brain
Made him numb again
He'll never be the same (the same)

The same (the same)
The same (the same)
The same (the same, the same)

The-the-the same (the same)
The same (the same)
The same (the same, the same)
