“ LOOKIN FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM”
THE AMERICAN DREAM
IT AIN’T WHAT IT SEEMS
IT USED TO BE BETTER
YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN
LOOKIN FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM
THE AMERICAN DREAM
IT USED TO BE REAL
BUT NOW IT’S A PHONY
A CROOKED DEAL
LOOKIN FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM
YEARS AGO YA COULD BUY A HOUSE WITHOUT GOIN INTO HOCK
YA COULD FIND A JOB IN A FACTORY TOWN
YOU COULD RAISE A FAMILY IN A FRIENDLY PLACE ON ONE SALARY
WITHOUT FEELING LIKE YOU WILL DROWN
(CHORUS)
YOU COULD SETTLE DOWN IN THE SUBURBS AND RAISE A FAMILY
IN A TOWN THAT WAS SAFE AND SOUND
YOU COULD MARRY YOUR HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEART AND HAVE A BUNCH OF KIDS
AND LIVE IN A REAL AMERICAN TOWN
(CHORUS)
YOU COULD COME TO OUR SHORES WITH JUST THE CLOTHES ON YOUR BACK
AND MAYBE YOU HAD SOME REAL BIG DREAMS
AND IF YOU WORKED REALLY HARD AND KEPT GRINDING AWAY
YOU HAD A FIGHTING CHANCE TO JOIN THE AMERICAN TEAM
