lyrics

VERSE
I’m hear on a mission, here to reveal that ugliness and failure our with us still
slashed in red lipstick or suited in spades
they came to sink there teeth in the American Dream
All the crawling pretties are down on there knees
sick with the stench of there rotting disease
Quarters in slots, rinse and repeat, they’re sick with the American dream

CHORUS
Who are these people
Where to they come from?
Is this what the American dream has become
There was a time when a spark led to a wave
a generation saw a world that they could change
but that vision quickly fades
when you think you’ve been saved
But you were deceived
by the american dream

VERSE
Your rich off the killings and sick from the kill
starving off madness with your green sweaty bills
Where’s the screaming eagles with american flags
To save these poor people from gambling all they had

CHORUS
Who are these people
Where to they come from?
Is this what the American dream has become
There was a time when a spark led to a wave
a generation saw a world that they could change
but that vision quickly fades
when you think you’ve been saved
But you were deceived
by the american dream
