The Big Smoke - The American Dream lyrics

rate me

Jimmy Dean where have you been

You took the long way home

You lived so fast and died so young

We want you back that's a crazy notion

Norma Jean queen of the screen

You were the chosen one

Your pretty face, take your place

You broke our hearts, still you had devotion

All we want is part of that emotion

Part of that emotion

Do you believe in the American dream

Show me the stars in your eyes

Do you believe in the American dream

Could it be just a disguise

Marvin Gaye, so much to say

He fed our hungry souls

Loves unkind, deaf, dumb and blind

In the end he had nothing there to lean on

Such a waste wish we knew the reason

Wish we knew the reason

Do you believe in the American dream

Show me the stars in your eyes

Do you believe in the American dream

Could it be just a disguise

Let's go American, let's go American

Let's go American, let's go American

We want you back that's a crazy notion

All we want is part of that emotion

Part of that emotion

Do you believe in the American dream

Show me the stars in your eyes

Do you believe in the American dream

Could it be just a disguise

Do you believe in the American dream

Once I believed in it too

I still believe that American dream

Knowing that it isn't true

Look around where is the answer

The dream begins to fade

A star is born seen you in the paper

Another face to worship as hero

Now we're back to zero, now we're back to zero
