Wake Up Lyrics
Come on!
Uggh!
Come…

It feels like, American dreams caught on fire
We're tearing down the white picket fences
A soldier bleeds, and a soldier dies…
…it's harder to breathe
When you're buried alive
By American dreams
With every bullet hole, there's a blood stain
Another family…
…to get by when it feels like
Something's wrong here
Or so it seems
'Cause I'm not sleeping in
American dreams,
American lies
We're trying…

…
I pledge allegiance to the flag,
Do my job well, try not to brag;
Carry my lunch in a brown bag,
Dream American dreams.
Dream…
…American dreams.
The land of the free,
The home of the brave;
We breathe liberty
From birth to the grave.
No other kingdoms…
…
No foreign regimes
Have the same freedoms,
Dream American dreams.
Don't need a thirsty SUV,
Don't need a big college degree…

…[Verse 1]
It feels like, American Dreams caught on fire
We're tearing down the white picket fences
A soldier bleeds…
…not sleeping in
[Chorus]
American Dreams, American lies
We're trying to see through the smoke in our eyes
So give me the truth
Don't tell me…
…your lies
'Cause it's harder to breathe
When you're buried alive
By American Dreams
[Verse 2]
With every bullet hole, there's…

…[Verse 1]
It feels like, American Dreams caught on fire
We're tearing down the white picket fences
A soldier bleeds…
…not sleeping in
[Chorus]
American Dreams, American lies
We're trying to see through the smoke in our eyes
So give me the truth
Don't tell me…
…your lies
'Cause it's harder to breathe
When you're buried alive
By American Dreams
[Verse 2]
With every bullet hole, there's…

Small town girl in a big city,
yeah shes making her move.
Shes got american dreams.
Oh so baby look at you now, youre a small town…
…smile, she gonna scream
Small town girl in a big city, yeah shes making her move. She got american dreams-
Dont come from anyone…
…dreams
She got american dreams
She gonna do what she wants to do, the girl in the one piece bathing suit, she gonna, yeah she gonna…

…American Dreams
I say no to war, you say no to war,
and we go to war again
but the truth of the matter is -
it stinks like…
…for yourself anymore.
The end - does it justify the means?
Angst and disgust - American dreams.
I hate it myself - it's…
…not what it seems to be.
I distrust American dreams
Your bringin me down, and bringin me down,
and bringin me down again…

For yourself anymore
The end - does it justify the means?
Angst and disgust - American dreams
I hate it myself - it's…
…not what it seems to be
I distrust American dreams
Your bringin me down, and bringin me down
And bringin me down again
To the lows that were never ever
Reached…
…after the war
The end - does it justify the means?
Angst and disgust - American dreams
I hate it myself - it's not what it seems to be
I distrust American dreams
American Dreams!…

…back what's lost just to find it all
Buried in American dreams
Oh, dream, dream, dream
Maybe we can start a scene or just screw all…
…what's lost just to find it all
Buried in American dreams
We got caught up in American
American dreams
Taking back what's lost just to find it all
Buried in American dreams…

…in your daydreams
We can find new games to play
I'll remember what you told me
Should we meet again someday
And we all dream American dreams…
Will not be spared
And we all dream American dreams
So I'll be searching for a signpost
To point the way again
The way that came so easily
When we looked…
…for it back then
I don't know where I'm headed
I'm just taking it on trust
'Cause everything that's static
Turns eventually to dust
And we all dream American dreams…
