Cascadence - The New American Way lyrics

rate me

<div class="showResultLinks">Seventeen, beauty queen<br />

Get in line to kiss her feet<br />

Covers read "How To Be Like Me"<br />

Cause Daddy bought her the magazine<br />

<br />

Pave your way with the innocent<br />

Anything you want, you get<br />

No need to break a sweat when you're born with it<br />

<br />

Outside looking to the inside<br />

Being you must be nice<br />

<br />

Sticks and stones may break my bones<br />

But names will make you famous<br />

Not what you do, it's what you know<br />

That's the way to make it in this game<br />

Trading dreams for lies, sell them off with plastic smiles<br />

Ain't that the new american way?<br />

<br />

The same age, different page<br />

Lives his life stuck in a cage<br />

Breaks it all just to earn his pay<br />

Chewed up, spit out everyday<br />

<br />

Plays his game out fair and square<br />

When he needs help there's no one there<br />

People fail to see that there's no glory in reality<br />

<br />

Take the high road to nowhere<br />

It'll lead you there fast<br />

But remember the first shall be the last<br />

<br />

(Solo Erik)<br />

(Solo Johnny)<br />

(Solo Erik & Johnny)</
