American Dream |
| Last time I saw you, you had dirt under your nails |
| Your eyes were glassy and you looked so pale |
| You said my life has become a livin' hell |
| Ain’t got enough money to pay my bills |
| Everything is wrong |
| Everything is wrong |
| Got a friend with a needle stuck in his arm |
| He got hooked on heroin in Vietnam |
| It used to help kill the pain some of the time |
| Now I can’t sleep at all since I got back home |
| Everything is wrong |
| Everything is wrong |
| I worked in the strip mines off and on |
| Now I can’t seem to get rid of this cough |
| Ain’t been many jobs these last few months |
| And the last one I had, I got laid off |
| Everything is wrong |
| Everything is wrong |
| I ain’t got no hot water and they shut off the heat |
| Can you loan me some money for something to eat? |
| Been out here on this corner for about a week |
| Trying hard to stand on my own two feet |
| Everything is wrong |
| Everything is wrong |
| They want to try and tell me where I can live |
| They kicked me off my land and told me they’d give me |
| A nice little tract house with running water |
| But how am I gonna explain that to my Navajo mother? |
| Everything is wrong |
| Everything is wrong |
| My American dream almost came true |
| But the things they promised me never came through |
| I believe in the American dream |
| But things are never quite what they seem |
| Everything is wrong |
| Everything is wrong |
| Everything is wrong |
| Everything is wrong |
