I used to see you on every TV
Your smiling face looked back at me.
I used to see you on every TV
Your smiling face looked back at me.
Then they caught you with the girl next door,
People's money piled on the floor,
Accusations that you try to deny,
Revelations and rumours begin to fly.
Now you think about reaching out
Try to get some help from above.
Now you think about reaching out
Try to get some help from above.
Reporters crowd around your house.
Going through your garbage like a pack of hounds,
Speculating what they may find out,
It don't matter now, you're all washed up.
You wake up in the middle of the night.
Your sheets are wet and your face is white,
You tried to make a good thing last,
How could something so good, go bad, so fast?
American dream, American dream,
American dream, American dream.
Don't know when things went wrong,
Might have been when you were young and strong. (X 2)
Reporters crowd around your house.
Going through your garbage like a pack of hounds,
Speculating what they may find out,
It don't matter now, you're all washed up.
Don't know when things went wrong,
Might have been when you were young and strong.
American dream, American dream.
Don't know when things went wrong,
Might have been when you were young and strong.
American dream, American dream.

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 the shit that you are.
You've freedom to sell, you poisoned
the well from heaven to hell and then
you wonder why you can't fuckin think
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 or dreamed of before
With weapons at bay, we're facing the day,
embracing the cause for dissent
then we'll justify our resolve well 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!

[Intro: Bishop - talking]
Hello! Fellow Americans. Haha
We've all been brought up to believe a lie that no matter
What race, color, creed. No matter how hard we work
We too can achieve the American dream. Are you livin' it?
[Verse 1:]
Yeah them cuss words moved us to the suburbs
Bought food when there was nothing in the cupboards
Fix my credit, lower class to the uppers
Million dollar homes still the neighbors call you, "niggers"
America, how sweet the sound
500 years later, still don't wanna ask around
New car?
Shit you prolly stole it
5 star restaurant? You must valet, take my keys, hold it
Fancy hotel, you in the penthouse suite
Walkin' down the hall there guess who you meet?
Though cracker sounds better let's call him Prejudice Pete
"I need some more towels boy, I wanna order somethin' to eat."
Flyin' first class just as bad
Terminal feels like a concentration camp
It's life or death to check your bags
Finally get on the plane, some lady got the nerve to ask
"You must be a sports star, can my son have your autograph? "
[Chorus:]
I'm not racist, I got lots of black friends
No, no, no, no, no, no
Racism been over since way back then
No, no, no, no, no, no
Now the Constitution says all men are created equal
No, no, no, no, no, no
Kanye West is wrong, George Bush loves black people
No, no, no, no, no, no
[Verse 2:]
See the world through the eyes of a black man
Don't think you know cause you grew up being a rap fan
48 bars on a dope track can't explain it
BET, UPN, WB can't portray it
A Roots Box Set can't contain it
It's so hard to picture events, you can't paint it
Imagine being born in a world where
Color separates class no matter if you a millionaire
Of course they love Oprah
Cause she a billionaire
Without the camera though
That fancy sto' wouldn't let her in there
Kobe Bryant, he fly through the fuckin' air
Clean cut, perfect role model, fans screamin' "yeah"
Slipped, whoops, white girl, same fans screamin' "electric chair"
No more endorsements, can't buy commercials, no fair
But Kramer said he'd hang us, put a fork in our ass
Don Imus watchin' nappy headed hoes and just laugh
[Chorus:]
I'm not racist, I got lots of black friends
No, no, no, no, no, no
Racism been over since way back then
No, no, no, no, no, no
Now the Constitution says all men are created equal
No, no, no, no, no, no
Kanye West is wrong, George Bush loves black people
No, no, no, no, no, no
[Verse 3:]
Yeah
Raise a hand if this done happened to you before
Counter clerk follow you around the liquor store
Raise your hand if this done happened to you before
Police detained your friends, they don't tell you what the fuck for
Brah
You just fit the description
Sit you on the curb or back seat if they trippin'
Slam you hard on the car hood if they really out flippin'
Now pay attention
Don't be a smarty
They just want a reason they can shoot somebody
Shot a brother 50 times at his bachelor party
No wonder why we always sayin', "Fuck tha police"
And ridin' in the streets hollerin' out "No justice, no peace."
Trust the government? Bitch no way
They the same evil bastards from back in the day
Shot Malcolm, a bunch of you up at UCLA
Martin Luther gave his life they gave him a holiday
[Chorus:]
I'm not racist, I got lots of black friends
No, no, no, no, no, no
Racism been over since way back then
No, no, no, no, no, no
Now the Constitution says all men are created equal
No, no, no, no, no, no
Kanye West is wrong, George Bush loves black people
No, no, no, no, no, no
[Outro:]
Man, it's so crazy. I remember times when we was walkin' down the stree
And people would cross the other side of the street. Like you would go get them
I remember one time I was in the store
And this lady clutched her purse and I'm out my mind like
"Bitch! I got more in my ashtray than you got in your fuckin' account"
Isn't that some crazy shit? I remember, ah, when I was down in Miami
Stayin' at the Lowe's and I was out by the pool and shit
People kept coming up to me sayin'
"What football team do you play for? Are you a basketball-"
"Bitch I can't even dribble!
How the fuck, cause I'm tall and I'm black I gotta be a basketball player?
Why can't I be a doctor or a lawyer. Fuck it
Man, I'm long winded so I'm just gonna make it quick
I-I believe that is the american dream

Lately I’ve felt so pathetic that it burns
I can’t sweat it cause I know I’m gonna work this out
Baby just sit back and forget about the world
And how they always doubt that we can make it worth our while
I hear all the words you never say
And you can always walk away
Cause I can see it in your vacant smile
We got caught up in American
Holding onto hope there and back again
Taking 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 day
We can run away, yes together, find a home
Better weather, oh
We can just lay here for a while
We got caught up in American
Holding onto hope there and back again
Taking back what’s lost
Just to find it all buried underneath this weight
I’m starting to believe this is what you hate
And nothing’s gonna work out the way it seems
But you’ll always be my American dream dream dream…
Maybe we can start a scene or just screw all day
We got caught up in American
Holding onto hope there and back again
Taking back what’s lost
Just to find it all buried in American dreams
We got caught up in American
And American dreams
Taking back what’s lost

I'm watching your system spoil
Can't wash my hands of the blood and the oil
Can't take this poison as mine and hide behind dollar signs
The world can keep spinning without me
Leave me far behind
Blind
Blinded by - justice
Blinded by justice and false hopes of American dreams
Always live in pursuit of happiness

Screams fill the air
Cannot bare this suffering
Won't accept what you can bring
It means nothing to me
With open arms everything to gain
Hateful glares my gifted pain
Utter bliss handed to you
You aint shit and you know its true
Walk the ground without a care
Digging deeper as i stare
Selfish whore personified
Caring not what lies inside
I get drunk i get high
Blue collar worker till i die
Your money will not buy
The perseverance in my eye
Nailed to the ground to stay alive
Grasp my struggle to survive
Hand that feeds following you
You aint shit and you know its true
Walk the world without a care
Digging deeper as i stare
Selfish whore personified
Caring not what lives inside
One day you will see your life is worth nothing
By then youll realize its too late
And one day youll find me i will be something
By then youll realize its too late
Walk the world without a care
Digging deeper as i stare
Selfish whore personified
Caring not what lives inside

Outro:
And They're Also Dead Inside x4
And They're Also Dead Inside x 8

Hey, hey, it's me on the radio
Everybody knows my name
I'm a flying leather neck
I even got my own plane
The wild girls they hand you
Passions on a plate
We blew minds in the Carolinas
Now I'm ready for the Tennessee state
We're out on the road who live in motels
We all live a different kind of life
We out on the highway for a living
We may never ever see the light
Way down in Memphis
There's a king upon a golden throne
But when darkness fell across the tracks
I made my soulpatrol
I fell in love with a cute little fan
Emeretta was just sixteen
A guiding light, shining bright
Within this American dream
We out on the road who live in motels...
Shining bright in my American dream
Shining bright in my American dream
Shining bright in this American dream
Gotta follow this American dream
Could have stayed here forever
Never ever wanted to leave
But we made a vow to stick together
And follow this American dream
