Distorted American Dream

(albüm: Distorted American Dream - 2010)

It seems to me today that you can fly
As high as the amount of freedom you can buy
And the rich is getting richer so the poor get stoned
And never seem to get left alone
And all the crazy people down in Hollywood
Trying to make a million dollars and always up to no good
Wouldn't care to sell their mother to get the cover of the Rolling Stone! Yeah, yeah, yeah!

And there ain't no perfect picture and there ain't no perfect dream
If you ain't got any money then you ain't got anything
If you ain't got an invitation to all the parties in scene
Then your day might never arrive
If you go to church on Sunday then you're forgiven of your sins
But you better check your conscience because it might not let you in
There's a price to pay for everything collected in the end
But you'll never ride for free

So what ever happened to the meaning of equality?
Has it blurred in the wind through the pages of our history?
So eat all you can 'til you're fat and you're ripping at the seams
And it's all in the name of a Distorted American Dream

So celebrate your money and you celebrate your pills
Throw your ethics out the window to keep your house up on the hill
You gotta get while getting's good and keep your name within the scene
To keep all of your dreams alive

So what ever happened to the meaning of equality?
Has it blurred in the wind through the pages of our history?
So eat all you can 'til you're fat and you're ripping at the seams
And it's all in the name of a Distorted American Dream

It seems to me today that you can fly
As high as the amount of freedom you can buy
And the rich is getting richer so the poor get stoned
And never seem to get left alone
And all the crazy people down in Hollywood
Trying to make a million dollars and always up to no good
Wouldn't care to sell their mother to get the cover of the Rolling Stone!

So what ever happened to the meaning of equality?
Has it blurred in the wind through the pages of our history?
So eat all you can 'til you're fat and you're ripping at the seams
And it's all in the name of a Distorted American Dream

It's more than it seems
The American Dream
It's more than it seems
