America isn't what it used to be.
What happened to the American Dream?
Now we're a country that depends on foreign oil.
Fighting wars, all on enemy soil.
Our leader's a coward,
cowards are our leaders.
And mother Earth,
just look how we treat her.
We spend money frivolously,
haven't you heard?
We even are hypocrites of our own word.
The American Dream murderers,
we are!
The American Dream murderers,
we are!
Oiled up machines stealing our jobs.
As the unemployed let out weak sobs.
We let our greed get to our heads.
And now soon we'll all be dead.
The American Dream murderers,
we are!
The American Dream murderers,
we are!
The American Dream murderers,
we are!
The American Dream murderers,
we are!
We are the ultimate murderers,
of the American Dream!
