Lyrics
American Dream
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.
I hate my family, hate my school, speed limits and the goldenrule
Hate people who aren't what they seem, more than anything else, American dream
American dream's gonna swallow you whole, it's bursting at theseam
It'll sweep you away, so enjoy it today, tomorrow you'll be oldthus useless
American dream, American dream
American dream, that's ok, cause no one dare give you away
I hate my job, I hate your God, I hate hypocrites and commonslobs
Hate people who aren't what they seem, more than anything else, American dream
Promise me today I'll have a Chevrolet, with whitewalls on theside
One boy, one girl, comfortable lies
The American dream, American dream, American dream
That's ok, cause no one dare give you away
American dream!
