American Dream Lyrics - Mkto - Mkto

Mmm... 

We broke down trying to leave town 

Driving down the road to change 

We were born to run, Cali here we come 

Escape from nowhere USA 

Say goodbye to white picket fences 

Say hello to palm trees and Benzes 

They say you have to fall to have it all 

(Mmm...) 

Yeah, well we don't want two kids and a wife 

I don't want a job I just want a life 

They say the underdogs rise 

And the mighty'll fall

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

This ain't the same summer song that you used to know 

'Cuz Jack left Diane thirty years ago 

The world is spinning too fast for you and me 

So tell me whatever happened to the American dream 

I know a girl I met her last night 

She was fresh off the plane 

She whispered in my ear, 

"Baby come near I'll do anything to make a name" 

Baby, take my hand follow me 'cuz 

I don't wanna hurt you but he does 

I just wanna give you some real advice 

(Listen baby, mmm) 

Look, never take candy from a stranger 

And keep your eyes open for danger 

'Cuz this right here is the twisted paradise 

This ain't the same summer song that you used to know 

'Cuz Jack left Diane thirty years ago 

The world is spinning too fast for you and me 

So tell me whatever happened to the American dream 

Na na na This ain't the same summer song that you used to know 

'Cuz Jack left Diane thirty years ago 

The world is spinning too fast for you and me 

So tell me whatever happened to the American dream 

This ain't the same summer song that you used to know 

So baby, let's live and die before we're getting old 

You know that nothing is the way it used to be 

So tell me whatever happened to the American dream 

Na na na
