| See I’m a lover and a fighter so I just can’t win
|
| Cause every time I come around I jump back over again
|
| Take nine steps back and struggle forward 'bout 10
|
| Really ain’t how I thought it’d turn out my friend
|
| See I am but a simpleton on a road to no end
|
| Everywhere I stare I’m looking at an old reflection
|
| Just been workin' ain’t been sleepin think I’m falling too deep
|
| This ain’t what I expected got me beggin oh please
|
| When I really think about it really no better way
|
| Just complaining while I’m livin' the American dream
|
| All that’s gold don’t glitter, not the way that it seems
|
| Cause in reality I’m livin' the American dream
|
| Oh they wanna pick me up and slam me down on my knees
|
| Just to put shit simply shit’s simple as can be
|
| Constantly wondering if the world’s gonna end
|
| This ain’t what I wanted for my next of kin
|
| Da da da da da da da da da da da da
|
| Da da da da da da da da da da da da
|
| Da da da da da da da da da da da da
|
| Yet still they say I’m shady that’s a little much to say
|
| All day hearsay gettin' so overplayed
|
| Gtting to the point I much prefer to pretend
|
| Really not how I thought it’d turn out my friend
|
| When I really think about it really no better way
|
| Just complaining while I’m livin' the American dream
|
| All that’s gold don’t glitter, not the way that it seems
|
| Cause in reality I’m livin' the American dream
|
| When I really think about it really no better way
|
| Just complaining while I’m livin' the American dream
|
| All that’s gold don’t glitter, not the way that it seems
|
| Cause in reality I’m livin' the American dream
|
| When I really think about it really no better way
|
| Just complaining while I’m livin' the American dream
|
| All that’s gold don’t glitter, not the way that it seems
|
| Cause in reality I’m livin' the American dream |
