American Dream

You've got the nightshift for the rent

And the picket fence

Working your bones into the next check

Turn around what's left

I don't know what we're looking for here

All the time we have free

Is filled with smokes and a beer

I don't know what I'm counting down to

When I get to come home?

But it's not even to you

Tell me like we all know

We're to work ourselves to death

For an empty home

A full bank with a shiny car

That we'll never even use

To get far

Is that the dream?

That's why I'm leaving in the fall

The town the state and all

I'll just be taking my guitar

Whatever fits the car

I'm doing something I wanted to

Back when I was a kid

And had nothing to lose

Everybody's too scared of change

They don't know how to live

They just know to be safe

Tell me like we all know

We're to work ourselves to death

For an empty home

A full bank with a shiny car

That we'll never even use

To get far

Is that what I'm working for working for working for

I want more, I want more

Is that the American 'merican dream

I want more, I want more

Tell me like we all know

I'm to work myself to death

For an empty home

A full bank with a shiny car

That I'll never even use

To get far

Is that what I'm working for working for working for

I want more, I want more

Is that the American 'merican dream

I want more, I want more

It's not my dream

It's not my dream
