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.
You hang around like the smell of ammonia
And I'm trying to weather you out
Is this as good as you get California
Without a doubt
I get a little distressed from the pressure
I get sick about doing my best
When you get stuck in the business of pleasure
You're put to the test
American dream
Well I can dream too
They're gonna forget no matter what you do
American dream
I'm living it up for you
It's like you wasting the way to the devoter
But what if this is as good as you get
There will be time to reflect when its over
It's not over yet
He's got everything he's ever wanted
But he's stuck in a bad limousine
From living the dream
American dream
Where I can dream too
You gonna regret no matter what you do
American dream
I leave it all up to you
Everybody wants something better
Everybody wants someting cool
Your memory doesn't get any better
In hollywood
American dream
Where I can dream too
You gonna regret no matter what you do
And if I can dream american too
Just don't ever pretend to tell you what you do
Don't you ever know for they
You wanna be new yorker but you stuck in la
American dream
I give it all about up on you
