Mama's always sad, daddy's pissed off
'Cause he spent all the money that he never had
Tryna put his little girl through the rehab
Or taking on the demons she had
Brother's gone crazy
Couple weeks he's about to have his baby
And he don't love his lady
As far as I see we're just living
We're just living
This American Dream
I still wanna believe
But days like these
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up from this American Dream
Straight outta college, she lives at home with her folks
'Cause those old student loans hold her hostage
And what's a degree when you can't eat?
Looking for a job every damn day of the week
And as far as I see, just another sad soul
'Nother sad soul
Chasing that American Dream
I still wanna believe
But days like these
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up from this American Dream
Oooh
Soldier coming home, left the fam for his own
'Cause he can't get the VA on the phone for the medicine he needs
Helps him forget everything that he's seen
Welcome home to your American
The American Dream
I still wanna believe
But days like these
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up from this American Dream
I still wanna believe
But times like these
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up from this American Dream
This American Dream
