"An American Dream" lyrics

"An American Dream"

Suffocation
Suffocate with no room to breathe, to breathe

Forgive us for 'now' is too late
This is not an American dream
This is no longer an American dream
This is no longer an American dream (American dream)

We are trying to breathe
We are trying to breathe underwater
We are trying to breathe
We are trying to breathe underwater

The few, the proud, no longer sing their song
One nation under God, it's us against the world
One nation under God, it's us against the world
It's us against the world, Us against the world
It's us against the world, Us against the world

Ohh

We've cut the tongue from society
Forcing consumption, never hearing "no"

We've brainwashed our children to believe this is destiny
Spoiled rotten, still counting their 1, 2, 3's
We've brainwashed our children to believe this is destiny
Spoiled rotten, still counting their 1, 2, 3's
Yea

Forgive us for 'now' is too late
Forgive us for fueling the flame

This is not an American dream any longer
As we've become spoiled, rotten, counting our 1, 2, 3's

Disease infesting our young
Beauty has become the beast
Beauty has become the beast
Beauty has become the beast
Beauty has become the beast
Beauty has become the beast
