"The American Dream" lyrics
"The American Dream"
Who in the world can we turn to?
Who can we truly believe?
Who really cares what we've gone through?
Who understands what we need?
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
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?
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
Who in the world can we turn to?
Who can we truly believe?
Who understands what we've gone through?
Who really cares what what we need?
Who really cares what what we need?
Who gives a damn what we need?
Who gives a damn what we need?
How can you say what you wanna say?
How can you be what you wanna be?
How can you say what you wanna say?
How can you be what you wanna be?
Thanks to Dennis for correcting these lyrics.

Don't cry, would you let it ride

Tryin' to figure out girl, where we went wrong

But maybe I'm a fool, still...

Whenever you're ready
