Levi Lowrey - David's Song lyrics

rate me

Well thank God for freedom

for we would not be here

Two miles from a strip mall

A fridge full of beer

In suburban America live happy and white

tell me is this the dream that they had in mind

Do they live, fight and die

so we can spend all our time

Keepin' up with the Jonses'

with the money and homes that we buy

And we think we're better then our next door neighbor

who plays his damn music too loud

And our yard is nicer, just look at our side

tho your (fence may take long) in this town

Just livin' the American Dream

It's more like a nightmare that I can't wake up from

bein' chased by a rabbit I'm too poor to outrun

I'm tellin' you it won't matter

how you're keepin' score

what cause may be better

or what your livin' for

'Cause the dates and the names

are the only difference

'tween my tombstone and yours

There they sit in the mansions

right down the road

from a card board box village

we turned up our nose on the way to the night club

Here is the place to be seen

And I know it's cliche but it's most likely true

but for the grace of God Almighty that could be you

beggin' for some change

so you could get a little somethin' to eat

But all we can think of is

who's bed we'll end up in

So we can impress all our friends

So lets drink one more round

to peace, love and trash

So bemoan all the money we spent

Just livin' the American Dream

It's more like a nightmare

I can't wake up from

Being chased by a rabbit I'm too poor to outrun

I'm tellin' you it don't matter

how you're keepin score

what cause may be better

what you're livin' for

'Cause the dates and the names

are the only difference

'tween my tombstone and yours

Yeah the dates and the names

are the only difference

'tween my tombstone and yours

<br />
