Strange American Dream

(アルバム： Wide Awake - 2018)

Hey baby
Hey baby

Maybe I was born sick
In a castle on top of the world
Maybe the whole gang is better off
Making money out fighting a war
Terminal motion
Keeps spinning me around
Temporary devotion
With a picket fence and a rowdy crowd

Well I was sure that everything was going fine
Until you took the shot and killed me with your mind
I'm a man and I wanna be honest
I'm better than I used to be

But now the whole world is wired up
On the red, white, and the green
And all the boys and girls are growing up
In a strange American dream

Temperature rising
And the water tastes like blood
Look at all of the sensitive people
Screaming from their yards
And my neighbor down the street
With the pretty face and the rubber jaw
Has plenty there to eat
But she don't share nothing at all

Well I was sure that everything was going fine
Until you took the shot and killed me with your mind
I'm a man and I wanna be honest
I'm better than I used to be

But now the whole world is wired up
On the red, white, and the green
And all the boys and girls are growing up
In a strange American dream

This ain't nothing like
What I thought it'd be like
When I was a little kid
I drew dinosaurs fighting wars
Behind the doors I reinforced with
Red, yellow and green
From all the cameras in front of us
I couldn't tell you what it is I see
So I close my eyes and realize
That I'm alive deep inside this
Strange American dream

But now the whole world is wired up
On the red, white, and the green
And all the boys and girls, yeah they're growing up
In a strange
In a strange
In a strange American dream
