The American Dream

[Verse 1: Peter Cetera]
How many times have you told us
"Rome wasn't built in a day
We can believe in the White House
Everything's cool, go away"?
Capitol Hill, is gonna crumble
Falling apart at the seams
We're mighty tired of seeing you stumble
You're crushing the American dream
How many cries will convince you
People are going insane?
Though you keep preaching of freedom
All of your talk is in vain

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
Who in the world can we turn to?
Who can we truly believe?
Who really cares what we've gone through?
Who understands? Who gives a damn what we need?

[Verse 2: Peter Cetera]
Maybe there's hope for the future
Hope for the red, white and blue
Long as we trust in each other
There's so much more we can do

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
Who in the world can we turn to?
Who can we truly believe?
Who really cares what we've gone through?
Who understands? Who gives a damn what we need?

[Outro: Peter Cetera]
How can you say what you want to say?
How can you be what you want to be?
