American Dream

[Verse 1]
See I'm a lover and a fighter so I just can't win
Cause every time I come around I jump back over again
Take nine steps back and struggle forward 'bout 10
Really ain't how I thought it'd turn out my friend

[Verse 2]
See I am but a simpleton on a road to no end
Everywhere I stare I'm looking at an old reflection
Just been workin' ain't been sleepin think I'm falling too deep
This ain't what I expected got me beggin oh please

[Instrumental interlude]

[Chorus]
When I really think about it really no better way
Just complaining while I'm livin' the American dream
All that's gold don't glitter, not the way that it seems
Cause in reality I'm livin' the American dream

[Instrumental interlude]

[Verse 3]
Oh they wanna pick me up and slam me down on my knees
Just to put shit simply shit's simple as can be
Constantly wondering if the world's gonna end
This ain't what I wanted for my next of kin

[Bridge]
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da

[Verse 4]
Yet still they say I'm shady that's a little much to say
All day hearsay gettin' so overplayed
Gtting to the point I much prefer to pretend
Really not how I thought it'd turn out my friend

[Chorus]
When I really think about it really no better way
Just complaining while I'm livin' the American dream
All that's gold don't glitter, not the way that it seems
Cause in reality I'm livin' the American dream
When I really think about it really no better way
Just complaining while I'm livin' the American dream
All that's gold don't glitter, not the way that it seems
Cause in reality I'm livin' the American dream
When I really think about it really no better way
Just complaining while I'm livin' the American dream
All that's gold don't glitter, not the way that it seems
Cause in reality I'm livin' the American dream
