American Dream Lyrics

American Dream lyrics

VERSE]



STANDING ON THE ISLAND OF LIBERTY



THERE ALONE
SHE TOWERS OVER THE SEA



PASSING EYES AND CITY LIGHTS SURROUND HER
HEART



ALL SEEKING THE MYSTIQUE THAT HOLDS THE KEY



TO
THE LAND OF THE FREE



 



[CHORUS]



IN
PURSUIT OF THE AMERICAN DREAM



WITH CREDIT CARDS AND SOME CABLE
TV



YOU CAN EVEN END UP OUT ON THE STREET



WIN OR LOSE
IT ALL



LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM



 



[VERSE]



FARMERS TELL THEIR STORY LIKE THE INDIAN



IN HIS OWN FORGOTTEN LAND



ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY PEOPLE ARE
JOINING HANDS



WHILE THE GOVERNMENT IS SELLING OFF OUR DIGNITY



DOING ALL THIS BUSINESS OVERSEAS



 



[CHORUS]



IN PURSUIT OF THE AMERICAN DREAM



WITH
CREDIT CARDS AND SOME CABLE TV



YOU CAN EVEN END UP OUT ON THE
STREET



WIN OR LOSE IT ALL



LIVING THE AMERICAN
DREAM



 



[BRIDGE]



IT TAKES FORTITUDE JUST
TO SEE IT THROUGH



BUT IT'S THE PRICE YOU PAY WHEN YOU RALLY TO



THE GLORY OF THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE



 



[VERSE]



CALLING ALL THE HEROES WHO KNOW THE SCORE



WE SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF OUR OWN



UNCLE SAM, HE'LL PUT YOU IN
THE WELFARE LINE



AND PAY A THOUSAND DOLLARS JUST TO BUY A HAMMER OR
TWO



WE THE PEOPLE - WHERE ARE YOU?
