American Dream
(Do something with your life)Ooh,(With your life)
We broke down trying to leave townFlying down the road to changeWe were born to run, Cali here we comeEscape from nowhere USA
Say goodbye to white picket fencesSay hello to palm trees and BenzesThey say you gotta fall to have it all
Yeah
We don’t want two kids and a wifeI don’t want a job I just want a lifeSometimes the underdogs riseAnd the mighty fall
This ain’t the same summer song that you used to know‘Cause Jack left Diane thirty years agoThe world is spinning too fast for you and meSo tell me whatever happened to the American dream
I know a girl I met her last nightShe was fresh off the planeShe whispered in my ear,“Baby, come here. I’ll do anything to make a name.”
Honey, take my hand follow me ‘causeI don’t wanna hurt you but he doesI just wanna give you some real advice
(Listen baby, mmm)
Look, never take candy from a strangerAnd keep your eyes open for danger‘Cause this right here is the twisted paradise
This ain’t the same summer song that you used to know‘Cause Jack left Diane thirty years agoThe world is spinning too fast for you and meSo tell me whatever happened to the American dream
This ain’t the same summer song that you used to knowSo baby, let's live and die before we're getting oldYou know that nothing is the way it used to beSo tell me whatever happened to the American dream
Na na na...
We we were born to run, Cali here we comeGettin' out of here, babyLet's get out of here
This ain’t the same summer song that you used to know‘Cause Jack left Diane thirty years agoThe world is spinning too fast for you and meSo tell me whatever happened to the American dream
This ain’t the same summer song that you used to knowSo baby, let’s live and die before we’re getting oldYou know that nothing is the way it used to beSo tell me whatever happened to the American dream
Na na na.
