I Am Nation - The American Dream Lyrics
Perfection is an ugly sighti’ll never wish for only blue skiesor pretty white clouds to drift on bytell me why do we liei never want a clean-- cut green lawnwith a perfect picket fence to walk alongpainted with-- thick white pastewithout a trace-- of specific tasteCHORUSsociety has brainwashed meto believe we’ll never achieve our dreamsWe used to call iti thought we were through with kings and queensbut you’re going nowhere without a teamoh yeah we used to call it the american dreamwhy wake up to singing birdswhen others want a chance to be heard?if i was a fox, the rooster would know it’s placeby dawn, feathers’d hold my gazecookie cutter houses lined upon my streetforming gridlines inhumanely neatwheres my housetheyre all the samethis is such a stupid gameCHORUSBRIDGEthe sun will shine on sundaysflowers bloom in maybirds and bees glide happilybut heres the realitysomeone lives in povertyas one lives in wealthsomeone gains a victoryone loses healththe ashes of foundationlay all scattered aboutwhile we’re all left so emptyas we struggle to figure outAmerican DreamAmerican Dream
