Eleven Fifty Seven - American Dream lyrics

rate me

Is he the black messiah<br />

Is he another four years of bush<br />

I hate wasting time talking about politicians<br />

But is there any other way<br />

<br />

Johnny lost his home and had to move<br />

Told his kids to say goodbye to friends at school<br />

Unemployment spiked<br />

The cost of food and fuel is rising<br />

The enemy is compromising the<br />

<br />

American dream just an idea worth<br />

Keeping around<br />

American dream just an idea worth<br />

Keeping around<br />

<br />

I see to many people living on the streets<br />

I see to many kids go to bed without enough to eat<br />

I've seen years of failed policies<br />

With troops overseas oil dependency now<br />

With this great nation<br />

<br />

And all along I've felt as though my hands are being tied<br />

And I'm reaching out for change<br />

We're all reaching out for change<br />

I push I pull and try to live<br />

It's pulling so hard now somethings gotta give<br />

<br />

American dream just an idea worth<br />

Keeping around<br />

American dream just an idea worth<br />

Keeping around
