American Dream

Claire Ernst

    Continues after the ad

    Red, white, blue
    Is getting harder to claim
    'Cause of you
    And your version of great
    Get's worse by the day

    In the words of Marvin
    What is going on?
    Got kids locked up in cages
    Innocence is gone
    Serving twenty years
    For brown skin and a bong
    Don't you think some things wrong?

    The American dream
    Oh! What does it mean?
    Is it just me
    Who can't tell?

    Are we supposed to be proud?
    And just not too loud
    While we're all living in hell
    No!
    I don't fell as free as you say I am
    Pretty soon we'll all be damned
    Chasing after something make believe

    The American dream
    It's not what seems

    Continues after the ad

    Ooh, ooh
    It's not what it seems
    It's not what it seems
    Oooh
    It's not what it seems
    Oooh
    It's not what it seems
    Da, da, da, da, da, da
    Ooh
    It's not what

    Now is the time
    To scream as loud as you can
    Raise ur sings
    Look them in the eyes
    Let's make them listen and then
    Let's put this to an end

    'Cause I pray for our daughters
    That they'll be safe starters
    And when the world starts
    Hitting know they'll now to hit back harder
    It seems so God damn simple
    For treat people like people
    Is it to much to ask to be
    Mother fucker equal?

    The American dream
    Oh!, what does it mean?
    'Cause it sure as hell ain't this
    We put all our pride
    In the stars and the stripes

    Yet we all know what we did
    I don't fell as free as you say I am
    It's clear
    You don't give a damn
    Preaching what you want us to believe

    The American dream
    It's not what seems

    Some people dream they don't get stopped
    Some people dream that one day they gon make it to the top
    Some people dream to get a little more than what they got
    Some people dream
    Some people dream of walking home alone
    Some people dream of strapping on a badge a gun
    Some people dream they could talk
    So they don't have to run
    Some people dream
    Some people dream of sleeping safe at night
    Some people dream the answer didn't mean we had to fight
    But some people dream of not having to beg for civil rights
    Some people dream

    Some people
    Some people dream
