Lyrics
Dead American
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Shock to the system, cause you're out of control
Saved your body but you're losing your soul
You really feel this? Do you really feel this?
We've got so much, but so little to show
Falling down, but we follow the goal
We really need this, do we really need this?
I won't live, on the lie
We're told
We're told, we're told
We've got it right, we've got it right now
We've got it right, we've got it right now
We've got it right, we've got it right now
We've got it right
We've got it all
Don't care about those who you try to impress
Hide the demons there under the dress
You really got them
You think you really got them
I told you:
"Show the world who you are, who you really are"
We've got it right, we've got it right now
We've got it right, we've got it right now
We've got it right, we've got it right now
We've got it right
We've got it right
We want it all, we want it all back
We'll take it all, we'll take it all down
We want it right, we want it right now
We'll take it all
We want it all
I won't live of the dead American dreams
Dead American dreams
I chose to, to be free from testifying
Indebted American dream
We've got it right, we've got it right now
We've got it right, we've got it right now
We've got it right, we've got it right now
We've got it right
We've got it right
We want it all, we want it all back
We'll take it all, we'll take it all down
We want it right, we want it right now
We'll take it all
We want it all
