American Heartache

Everything I need is blowing in the breeze
Everything I want is just down stream
Everything between my ears is just a dream

I never stay still, I'm always in motion
Flying in a tin can, hanging by a shoe
Sitting on a plastic throne, living like a king

Stuck in a dream
Stuck in a dream

It's only American heartache
It's only American heartache

I wanna make peace but I don't have the skills
When I feel pain I reach for the pills
I wish I had a body of steel but I'm over the hill

Stuck in a dream
Stuck in a dream

It's only American heartache
It's only American heartache

Nothing is wrong, nothing's at stake
I only feel bad when I can't have nothing at all
I only feel bad when I can't have nothing at all

Stuck in a dream
Stuck in a dream

It's only American heartache
It's only American heartache
It's only American heartache
It's only American heartache
It's only American heartache

I only feel bad when I can't have it all
