lyrics

American Dream
They say that we got it real bad
Thousands dead in the streets but not enough body bags
I don’t want no more of this American dream

Yankee kids spend their break on the beach
Fascists carry their torches; the president gives a speech
I don’t want no more of this American dream

Gee, Ma, I want to go back to Ontario
Gee, Ma, I want to go home

One month since no kid’s been shot
Not so much winning as all of the schools are locked
I don’t want no more of this American dream

My friend got sick and they made her pay
She mortgaged her life just so she could live for today
I don’t want no more of this American dream

Gee, Ma, I want to go back to Ontario
Gee, Ma, I want to go home

All of the world is in shock
Our borders are shut, I hear the ticking of the clock
I don’t want no more of this American dream
Lord, wake me up from this American dream
I don’t believe in the American dream
