American Dream

📝 Lyrics

Lyrics: Goldstein, Andrew Maxwell Music: Goldstein, Andrew Maxwell (Do something with your life)

Ooh

(With your life) We broke down trying to leave town

Flying down the road to change

We were born to run Cali here we come

Escape from nowhere USA

Say goodbye to white picket fences Say hello to palm trees and Benzes They say you gotta fall to have it all Yeah

We don’t want two kids and a wife I don’t want a job I just want a life Sometimes the underdogs rise

And the mighty fall

This ain’t the same summer song that you used to know ‘Cause Jack left Diane thirty years ago

The world is spinning too fast for you and me So tell me whatever happened to the American dream

I know a girl I met her last night

She was fresh off the plane

She whispered in my ear “Baby come here I’ll do anything to make a name ”

Honey take my hand follow me ‘cause I don’t wanna hurt you but he does I just wanna give you some real advice

(Listen baby mmm) Look never take candy from a stranger And 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 ago

The world is spinning too fast for you and me

So tell me whatever happened to the American dream This ain’t the same summer song that you used to know So baby let’s live and die before we’re getting old You know that nothing is the way it used to be So tell me whatever happened to the American dream Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na na na na na

We we were born to run Cali here we come Gettin’out of here baby

Let's get out of here

This ain’t the same summer song that you used to know

‘Cause Jack left Diane thirty years ago

The world is spinning too fast for you and me So tell me whatever happened to the American dream This ain’t the same summer song that you used to know So baby let’s live and die before we’re getting old You know that nothing is the way it used to be So tell me whatever happened to the American dream Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
