The American Dream Lyrics - Singles - I Am Nation

Perfection is an ugly sight 

ill never wish for only blue skies 

or pretty white clouds to drift on by 

tell me why do we lie 

i never want a clean-- cut green lawn 

with a perfect picket fence to walk along 

painted with-- thick white paste 

without a trace-- of specific taste 

CHORUS 

society has brainwashed me 

to believe well never achieve our dreams 

We used to call it 

i thought we were through with kings and queens 

but youre going nowhere without a team 

oh yeah we used to call it the american dream 

why wake up to singing birds 

when others want a chance to be heard? 

if i was a fox, the rooster would know its place 

by dawn, feathersd hold my gaze 

cookie cutter houses lined upon my street 

forming gridlines inhumanely neat 

wheres my house 

theyre all the same 

this is such a stupid game 

CHORUS 

BRIDGE 

the sun will shine on sundays 

flowers bloom in may 

birds and bees glide happily 

but heres the reality 

someone lives in poverty 

as one lives in wealth 

someone gains a victory 

one loses health 

the ashes of foundation 

lay all scattered about 

while were all left so empty 

as we struggle to figure out 

American Dream 

American Dream
