(album: Aren't You Glad? - 2016)

Look me in the eyes right now

It's safe to say you're addicted beneath
When you're alone do you feel anything?
Fuck money and power and ruling everything
How could I know exactly what you could be?

You built a world that left us paralyzed
You never change your mind
You never change your mind do you?
We're counting dollars while you're counting lives
You never change your mind so I won't change, I won't change mine

Let's take it back one year ago when all I knew was a cubicle
Shovel shit to idiots who'd pay their rent but they forget
I forget that I'm surrounded by a culture in disguise
Taking drugs to keep their darkest fantasies alive

I am the American dream
I am the god damned American dream
I am the American dream
I am the god damned American dream

Hiding secrets in a safe called fear

You built a world that left us paralyzed
You never change your mind
You never change your mind do you?
We're counting dollars while you're counting lives
You never change your mind so I won't change, I won't change mine

Look me in the eyes right now
Look me in the eyes
Get fucked
I am the American dream
I am the god damned American dream
I am the American dream
I am the god damned American dream
