| Remember when ninth grade was about gettin' laid
|
| Skippin' class tryin' not to get caught?
|
| Now you gotta take a test in a bullet proof vest
|
| Scared to death that you might get shot
|
| It’s like I just closed my eyes
|
| Everybody started fallin' for the Devil’s disguise
|
| That hides behind the lies
|
| That hide the truth and I just can’t take it no more
|
| So wake me up from this American bad dream
|
| Is it this messed up, or is it really reality?
|
| I’m becomin' numb to all of this tragedy
|
| Somebody wake me up from this American bad dream
|
| From this American bad dream
|
| I remember goin' 10 over the limit would just get you a ticket
|
| Just an inconvenience gettin' stopped
|
| Bad cops played the jury, made the good ones worry
|
| About showin' up and doin' their job
|
| It’s like I just closed my eyes
|
| Everybody started fallin' for the Devil’s disguise
|
| That hides behind the lines
|
| That hide the truth now I just can’t take it no more
|
| So wake me up from this American bad dream
|
| Is it this messed up, or is it really reality?
|
| I’m becomin' numb to all of this tragedy
|
| Somebody wake me up from this American bad dream
|
| Yeah this American bad dream
|
| From this American bad dream, oh
|
| It’s like I just closed my eyes
|
| Everybody started fallin' for the Devil’s disguise
|
| Damn
|
| So wake me up from this American bad dream
|
| Is it this messed up, or is it really reality?
|
| I’m becomin' numb to all of this tragedy
|
| Somebody wake me up from this American bad dream
|
| From this American bad dream
|
| Wake me up, wake me up
|
| Wake me up from this American bad dream
|
| From this American bad dream |
