We killed the dream!

We killed the...
Here we are, where the fire starts
And then it burns forever
Take a good idea, add in greed and fear
And now our sons, they all got tempers
This is a requiem, sing it

And we, we killed the dream
We killed the American dream

Screaming a storm while you lie in plain view
Taking liquids that would make you desirable
Well, I know

Sing it!
We, we're wasting time
And we, we're running blind
Familiarity breeds contempt
And we, we killed the dream
We killed the American dream
We killed the American dream
We killed the American dream!
We killed the dream!
Yeah!
We killed the..
