American Dream

[Intro]
Don't know where things went wrong
Might have been when you were young and strong
Don't know where things went wrong
Might have been when you were young and strong

[Verse 1]
Love brought joy and life brought pain
The emptiness of money and a name
After that things got a little rough
In the American dream
American dream, American dream
American dream, American dream

[Verse 2]
I used to see you on every TV
Your smiling face looked down on me
American dream, Amеrican dream
I used to see you on evеry TV
Your smiling face looked down on me
American dream, American dream
Then they caught you with the girl next door
People's money piled on the floor
Accusations that you try to deny
Revelation and rumors begin to fly
American dream, American dream
American dream, American dream

[Break]
American dream, American dream
American dream, American dream

[Verse 3]
You wake up in the middle of the night
Your sheets are wet and your face is white
You tried to make a good thing last
How did something so good go bad so fast?
American dream, American dream
American dream, American dream

[Verse 4]
Now you think about reaching out
Maybe get some help from above
American dream, American dream
Now you think about reaching out
Maybe get some help from above
American dream, American dream
Reporters crowd around your house
Going through your garbage like a pack of hounds
Speculating what they might find out
It don't matter now, you're all washed up
American dream, American dream
All washed up
American dream, American dream

[Outro]
Don't know where things went wrong
Might have been when we were young and strong
American dream, American dream
Don't know where things went wrong
Might have been when we were young and strong
American dream, American dream
Don't know where things went wrong
Might have been when we were young and strong
American dream, American dream
Don't know where things went wrong
Might have been when we were young and strong
American dream, American dream
