American Dream lyrics

I hate my family, hate my school

Speed limits, and the golden rule

Hate people who aren't what they seem

More than anything else, American dream

American dream's gonna swallow you whole

It's bursting at the seam

It'll sweep you away, so enjoy it today

Tomorrow you'll be old thus useless

American dream

American dream

American dream, that's ok

'Cause no one dare give you away

I hate my job, I hate your god

I hate hypocrites and common slobs

Hate people who aren't what they seem

More than anything else, American dream

Promise me today

I'll have a Chevrolet

With whitewalls on the side

One boy, one girl, comfortable lies

American dream

American dream

American dream, that's ok

'Cause no one dare give you away

American dream!
