"The American Dream" lyrics

"The American Dream"

Yeah

6 a.m. in the morning
I wake up inside my room
I brush my teeth, throw on clothes
Say a prayer and then tie my shoes
Outside my door there's a war
With the man in the fancy suit
But I need coffee
Before I decide what I'm 'bout to do

I get on the highway
And start going nowhere really fast
The destination in life
Is the journey we all drive past
I'm doing 150 an hour
And I'm praying that I crash
Into the dreams I had
That I left back in my past

Every day I wake up
I GPS my thoughts and get lost inside my phone
Every day I wake up
I GPS my thoughts 'cause I don't know where I'm going (Oh)

It's 12 p.m. and it's lunchtime
I'm hungry, so I go eat
The fast food is cheap
But it cost me the health that I'm trying to keep
Awake in this nightmare
I stay counting all these sheep
Lost on route in pursuit
Of this new American dream

Every day I wake up
I GPS my thoughts and get lost inside my phone
Every day I wake up
I GPS my thoughts 'cause I don't know where I'm going

It's 8 p.m., I'm tired and finally back home
I spend my days trying to bank
On the fact that my life's alone
Avoiding the news
Searching for truth beneath every unturned stone
Knowing life's a game I play that I don't own

'Cause every day I wake up
I GPS my thoughts and get lost inside my phone
'Cause every day I wake up
I GPS my thoughts 'cause I don't know where I'm going

Yeah
