The American Dream
A devil smile from the gambler
The deuces are wild
I see the world through a golden eye
Feels like dancing on the edge of the world
Left for dead, left unfurled
Can't catch my breath
Is this what I deserve?
I'm below but I wanna be high
'Cause I'm trapped inside the American dream
The truth is not what it seems
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free
'Cause I feel the stare and I feel the fear
I can't break through or get anywhere
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free
The American dream
All my senses in overload on this dusty road
A raging iron fist in a velvet glove
This burning chill's running up my spine
Terror in the back of my mind
Drinking the Kool-Aid 'cause I'm left behind
And now I'm below but I wanna be high
'Cause I'm trapped inside the American dream
The truth is not what it seems
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free
'Cause I feel the stare and I feel the fear
I can't break through or get anywhere
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free
The American dream
The road to hell is paved with honest lies
I'm stuck below but I wanna be high
Trapped inside the American dream
The truth is not what it seems
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free
'Cause I'm trapped inside the American dream
The truth is not what it seems
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free
'Cause I feel the stare and I feel the fear
I can't break through or get anywhere
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free
In the American, in the American, in the American dream
