From the recording American Dream
Lyrics
AMERICAN DREAM
Out there on the lonely highways
People don’t care they’re just going their ways
And I wonder whatever happened to the American Dream
Now Mc Donalds’s is taking over the place
I see people sell their glory yes they sell their grace
And I wonder whatever happened to the American Dream
I don’t wanna sound like I’m breaking
Don’t wanna know that it’s taking away everything I want
No, I’m never gonna beg for mercy and I’m never gonna go back to Jersey
No, I’m not following anyone
You say you couldn’t even hang my poster
And that your life is a rollercoaster
I see me play my cards and I see me lose
I know what the heck I’m talking about
I gave my last damn dollar to come around
And you couldn’t even turn off your fucking game
I don’t wanna sound like I’m breaking
Don’t wanna know that it’s taking away everything I am
No, I’m never gonna beg for mercy and I’m never gonna go back to Jersey
No gonna follow anyone
