Fading American Dream Lyrics - Singles - Street Dogs

Working hard from day to day now, I get a check that barely lasts 

I'm just another no choice member in Uncle Sam's desperation class 

Finding it hard to face my wife, new kid born out of shotgun life 

Twenty years old and I love them both, see no sunshine in our skies 

Silently we pray for turbulence to break 

How much more financial stress can we all take? 

Getting closer to our limit 

We chase the penthouse from the basement 

Our current rat race, we run to stand still 

This is our fading American Dream 

Bad news coming in, these higher rent rates gouge us thin 

The sands of time are running down as we slip further behind

Bleeding my family, they're stretched too 

Eviction notes, what can I do? 

Twenty years old, feel my life's on hold 

Yell at a school-taught God, oh why? 

Silently we pray for turbulence to break 

How much more financial stress can we all take? 

Getting closer to our limit 

We chase the penthouse from the basement 

Our current rat race, we run to stand still 

This is our fading American Dream 

Have we ever been above water? 

Do we ever see ourselves coming out of it alive? 

Getting closer to our limit 

We chase the penthouse from the basement 

Our current rat race, we run to stand still 

This is our fading American Dream

I got no time no to go and cry now 

Leave for a second job, don't want to go poor 

I'm just searching for my dignity 

This is our fading American Dream
