Taht Old American Dream
She heard the word of the Lord
But she took the devil's hand
He led her up a one-way street
She got married very young
Tied a mortgage 'round her neck
Had a fam'ly underneath her feet
(She believes in it)
In that old American dream
(She believes in it)
(She believes in it)
In that old American dream
She watches ads that pass the hours
On her color T.V. set
And she'll fall for every exaggerated line
She'll look thirty when she's forty
If she takes a little trouble
But she'll always say she's twenty-nine
(She believes in it)
In that old American dream
(She believes in it)
(She believes in it)
In that old American dream
She'll die all alone
Yes, she'll die in a private room
(Oh, yes, she will)
Don't cry, dear children
Don't cry, she did it for you
She heard the word of the Lord
But she took the devil's hand
And the devil took her for his wife
He sold her heaven on earth
At a discount rate
And she paid it for the rest of her life
(She believes in it)
In that old American dream
(She believes in it)
(She believes in it)
In that old American dream
(She believes in it)
(She believes in it)
In that old American dream
(She believes in it)
(She believes in it)
In that old American dream
But she took the devil's hand
He led her up a one-way street
She got married very young
Tied a mortgage 'round her neck
Had a fam'ly underneath her feet
(She believes in it)
In that old American dream
(She believes in it)
(She believes in it)
In that old American dream
She watches ads that pass the hours
On her color T.V. set
And she'll fall for every exaggerated line
She'll look thirty when she's forty
If she takes a little trouble
But she'll always say she's twenty-nine
(She believes in it)
In that old American dream
(She believes in it)
(She believes in it)
In that old American dream
She'll die all alone
Yes, she'll die in a private room
(Oh, yes, she will)
Don't cry, dear children
Don't cry, she did it for you
She heard the word of the Lord
But she took the devil's hand
And the devil took her for his wife
He sold her heaven on earth
At a discount rate
And she paid it for the rest of her life
(She believes in it)
In that old American dream
(She believes in it)
(She believes in it)
In that old American dream
(She believes in it)
(She believes in it)
In that old American dream
(She believes in it)
(She believes in it)
In that old American dream
