Lyrics
[Verse 1]
America keeps dividing
While Russia keeps on fighting
China keeps on giving
The gift that keeps on living
[Verse 2]
When the orange man came into power
The minutes soon felt like hours
Then the old man won the election
But the world didn't change direction
[PreChorus]
When did we get it wrong in our world?
Why can't we get along in our world?
[Chorus]
It's over, the end of the American dream
It's over, so long to the American dream
[Verse 3]
Afghanistan, Papua New Guinea
Perth and Mexico City
People are hurting all around us
But we scroll on by till something resounds with us
[Verse 4]
We do nothing 'cause that's what's expected
We live our lives with our own agendas
We fatten ourselves on missed opportunities
We place our faith in false conspiracies
[PreChorus]
When did we get it wrong in our world?
When did we grow apart in our world?
[Chorus]
It's over, the end of the American dream
It's over, so long to the American dream
It's over, the end of the American dream
It's over, so long to the American dream
