American Dream

[00:10.15] Ah-uh, uh-huh
[00:13.54]
[00:18.61] Momma's always sad, daddy's pissed off
[00:22.03] 'Cause you spend all the money that he never had
[00:25.71] Tryna put his little girl through the rehab
[00:29.67] I'm takin' on the demons she had
[00:33.49] Brother's goin' crazy
[00:35.80] 'Couple weeks, he's about to have his baby
[00:39.10] And he don't love his lady
[00:40.82] As far as I see
[00:43.23] We're just livin', we're just livin'
[00:46.98] This American dream, I still wanna believe
[00:54.65] But days like these
[00:58.04] I just wanna wake up
[00:59.80] I just wanna wake up from this American dream
[01:05.61]
[01:10.39] Straight outta college, she lives at home with the folks
[01:14.82] 'Cause those old student loans hold her hostage
[01:17.88] And what's a degree when you can't eat?
[01:20.95] Lookin' for a job every damn day of the week
[01:24.92] And as far as I see
[01:27.51] Just another sad soul, 'nother sad soul
[01:30.62] Chasin' that
[01:31.69] American dream, I still wanna believe
[01:38.87] Days like these
[01:42.45] I just wanna wake up
[01:44.24] I just wanna wake up from this American dream
[01:49.91] (Ooh)
[01:51.05] Ooh-ooh
[01:53.60] (Ooh)
[01:57.48] Ah-uh
[01:58.96] (Ooh)
[02:02.08] Soldier comin' home, left to fend for his own
[02:06.44] 'Cause he can't get the VA on the phone for the medicine he needs
[02:11.69] Helps him forget everything that he's seen
[02:14.63] Welcome home to your American
[02:17.35] The American dream, I still wanna believe
[02:25.06] But days like these
[02:28.51] I just wanna wake up
[02:30.26] I just wanna wake up from this
[02:33.25] American dream, I still wanna believe
[02:39.84] But times like these
[02:43.38] I just wanna wake up
[02:45.24] I just wanna wake up from this American dream
[02:50.77]
[02:54.39] This American dream
[02:56.02]
