Lyrics
The covers I read in line at the store. Number one bachelor and whats his name's poor. There's a breakthrough debut called chemical youth. It's right there in print so it must be the truth.
It's the American Dream.
I pour out my heart all over this town. The sight of their faces just brings me down. Is that your new car? How much do you make? The better your answer the more they will take.
In this American Dream.
We are living the American Dream.
My neighbor's house looks just like mine. But the clocks on our walls don't read the same time. I sit at my desk. I sit there for pay... While it silently shapes what I do and I say.
In this American Dream. We are living the American Dream.
