lyrics

I'll turn this old machine until it starts to bleed
I can hardly stand I'm weak in the knees
Eyes start to squint and I can hardly see
This isn't what I dreamt when I thought of the American dream
The American dream

Drive home from work stop at the bar
Drink many drinks heal these scars
Kill this pain in my heart
I'll finish with whiskey with beer I'll start
This isn't what I dreamt when I thought of the American dream
The American dream
American dream

Only problem is it doesn't seem to do me any good
This harness I created its just a hook in my back
Breaking back breaking down
Holding one eye to the sky the other to the ground
This isn't what I dreamt when I thought of the American dream
The American dream

It's done it's over medical bills stacked in the corner
I don't recognize this place anymore
I don't think I even did before oh oh oh oh

All this ads and TV stunts make me laugh puke up my lunch
Just a bunch a crap to bought and sold
Work the nine to five
Better dead than alive
This isn't what I dreamt when I thought of the American dream
The American dream

It's done it's over medical bills stacked in the corner
I don't recognize this place anymore
I don't think I even did before oh no oh no oh
This isn't what I dreamt when I thought of the American dream
This isn't what I dreamt when I thought of the American dream
This isn't what I dreamt when I thought of the American dream
