American Dream

[00:09.04] She was a midwestern prom queen
[00:12.60] Got her boyfriend headed out West
[00:16.27] They ended up in the valley
[00:19.87] In a one room apartment
[00:21.77] A disconnected phone
[00:23.57] Yeah
[00:32.73] Now five years later she's single
[00:39.00] She's got two kids and a note
[00:40.83] And if she gets a moment to herself
[00:43.50] She can remember how everything used
[00:47.12] To go her way
[00:48.03] She says
[00:48.94] Where did the time go
[00:51.74] When everything was simple and free?
[00:55.41] I want to know what happened
[00:59.06] Somebody woke me before I could
[01:02.08] Have my American Dream

[01:16.49] He planned to early retire
[01:20.08] His CEO he stole a billion dollars
[01:23.75] Now he's working at Denny's

[01:39.47] Somebody woke me before I could
[01:42.14] Have my American Dream
[01:47.56] Yeah, yeah, yeah
[01:48.45] I'm a little bit rebel
[01:51.24] I'm a bit patriot
[01:53.00] I can see they're both sides of the coin
[01:57.56] But still it gets a bit rough
[01:58.41] Everything is screwed up
[02:01.47] I guess itís just the American way
[02:20.33] Sometimes I wonder how you are
[02:24.88] You're up in New York City with a family
[02:28.41] I think I could have been your guy
[02:32.04] It's just a moment in time that is slipping on away
[02:35.63] Where did the time go
[02:42.01] When everything was simple and free?
[02:45.66] I want to know what happened
[02:49.26] Somebody woke me before I could have
