lyrics
AMERICAN DREAM Mardell McCombs ©Talking Rock Publishing
We were beautiful under spacious skies
If only we'd been wise
I love my country, but I hate what I see
So I speak my mind in the Land of the Free
I had a nightmare, woke up with a scream
I witnessed a murder
The American Dream
They worked by stealth, then out in the light
There was no army to fight the good fight
We sat at home and watched on the news
Believed what they told us
Missed all the clues
I had a nightmare, woke up with a scream
I witnessed a murder
The American Dream
The American Dream
What was the cause do you reckon
The motive was greed
Poison the weapon
We have a sickness, it's out of control
It rages through us body spirit and soul
We've got to work and find us a cure
For it's not too late
Of this I am sure
I had a nightmare, woke up with a scream
I witnessed a murder
The American Dream
We killed it dead
The American Dream
We were beautiful under spacious skies
If only we'd been wise
I love my country, but I hate what I see
So I speak my mind in the Land of the Free
I had a nightmare, woke up with a scream
I witnessed a murder
The American Dream
They worked by stealth, then out in the light
There was no army to fight the good fight
We sat at home and watched on the news
Believed what they told us
Missed all the clues
I had a nightmare, woke up with a scream
I witnessed a murder
The American Dream
The American Dream
What was the cause do you reckon
The motive was greed
Poison the weapon
We have a sickness, it's out of control
It rages through us body spirit and soul
We've got to work and find us a cure
For it's not too late
Of this I am sure
I had a nightmare, woke up with a scream
I witnessed a murder
The American Dream
We killed it dead
The American Dream
