American Dreams

It feels like American dreams caught on fire
 We're tearing down the white picket fences
 A soldier bleeds and a soldier dies
 Have you ever thought that war was a sickness?
 I'm a son of it, fucked up from it
 Casualty of my family 'cause of it
 We dare to dream or live to die
 Reunited by the truth at the right time
 Something's wrong here, or so it seems
 'Cause I'm not sleeping in
 American dreams, American lies
 We're trying to see through the smoke in our eyes
 So give me the truth, don't tell me your lies
 'Cause it's harder to breathe when you're buried alive
 By American dreams
 With every bullet hole, there's a blood stain
 Another family that's struggling to keep sane
 'Cause their neighborhood ain't a safe place
 Got us all wearing black every Sunday
 And I'm growing numb to the violence
 Sing along to the sound of the sirens
 We're trying to keep ourselves alive
 But it's hard to get by when it feels like
 Something's wrong here, or so it seems
 'Cause I'm not sleeping in
 American dreams, American lies
 We're trying to see through the smoke in our eyes
 So give me the truth, don't tell me your lies
 'Cause it's harder to breathe when you're buried alive
