Hypernova - American Dreams lyrics

rate me

Intro:

I know that I'll never go back home

To the life I had, the life that I had known

Verse 1:

They put me on the cover of their magazines

Scarlet skies and broken dreams

They promised me that we would change the world

For better or for worse

All I wanted was to rock 'n roll

All I wanted was to see the world

The happenings on the streets

And mingle with the kooks and beats

Chorus:

Is this not the life that you wanted?

You wanted to have?

Is this not how you imagined it would be when you would start to live in Hollywood?

Verse 2:

They tell me to dress so to scare

Look so tough like you just don't care

We'll package you and put you on display

And everyone gets their car

And we'll cruise down the Holland Drive

And we'll all feel so alive

And well this is swell

This is what I've waited for

Chorus:

Is this not the life that you wanted?

You wanted to have?

Is this not how you imagined it would be when you would start to live in Hollywood?

Bridge:

What have we done?

What have we become?

Verse 3:

Nobody grows old in Hollywood

With your plastic smile and your VIPs

Your credit cards and your fancy heels

You're all the modern day Robin Hood with a twist

Who takes from the poor and gives to the rich (x2)

Outro:

You're all so dead inside (x4)

You're all so dead inside (x8)

Take back what is yours (x8)
