American Dream

from CROSS DOG by CROSS DOG

/

lyrics

You see him walk these streets, familiar face living downtown
Holding up bar stool seats, and never putting his drink down

A local waste of life, a dirty stain on your polished scene
Cringe as he stumbles by, you don't know where this bum has been, hey!

A blank stare, you can't spare any change
It's not your life to save
Put your faith in the American dream, just believe in the American dream
Find god, get on your knees and pray
Sell your soul and you might be saved

Duty calls, you've gotta fight for the man
When duty calls you've gotta fight for the man

Sign him up and fly him east, a one way ticket to the new 'Nam
He wasn't there to keep the peace, draining blood in the hot sand

A blank stare, you can't spare any change
It's not your life to save
Put your faith in the American dream, just believe in the American dream
Find god, get on your knees and pray
Sell your soul and you might be saved

Spoken: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness"
Unless, of course, you are sick, marginalized, different, unable, or unwilling to feed the machine that broke you, and that has no intention of fixing you.

Put your faith in the American dream, just believe in the American dream
Put your faith in the American dream, god bless the American dream
(Hey, hey, hey!)
Put your faith in the American dream, just believe in the American dream
Put your faith in the American dream, god bless the American
