AMERICAN DREAM LYRICS
Michael and Christy, they met | back in their teens,
house and two kids, you know the | American Dream,
pink slipped and foreclosed | in March of '09,
over two years now | and still marking time.
Late night finds Michael restless | pacing the floor,
a thin thread is ending, he can't | hang on no more,
Christy tries harder | to meet ends on her pay,
But when it runs down they | they just drive away.
Wake up now dreamers -- let's open our eyes!
Rise from our beds made of legends and lies.
While scammers and schemers, fly near the sun,
We sleep here silent, and lives come undone.
Kenny put down the game ball | to pick up a gun,
enlisted at eighteen, you know | an American Son,
Three tours in Afghanistan | right after Iraq,
a bomb took his leg there | but it sent Kenny back.
Dry-docked with dad at home now | down in St. Bernard,
Kenny remembers time when | the shrimpers worked hard,
After Katrina | how could it get worse?
Gulf waters dying | the oil, now a curse.
Wake up now dreamers -- let's open our eyes!
Rise from our beds made of legends and lies.
While wheelers and dealers, grow rich off our need,
We sleep here silent, and earth slowly bleeds.
Wake up now dreamers -- let's open our eyes!
Rise from our beds made of legends and lies.
While princes and puppets, play their deadly games,
We must not sleep silent, the world up in flames.
