THE AMERICAN DREAM

This town's a cemetery
 Of dead dreams, it's very scary
 Hearing old friends screaming out my name
 They all must be exhausted
 Good thing they're handed a coffin
 Told to shut up and smile while they wave
 You're dreaming of some day, hitting up Broadway
 With only a one-way from this lot
 And you're getting closer to finding the closure
 To say that it's over
 All of your values are losing their value
 The American dream is just fool's gold
 I'm bringing you bad news, I'm sorry I have to
 The American dream is just fool's gold
 This town's a monument
 Full of backhanded compliments
 And all that empty something I enjoy
 A bunch of brainwashed kids that they'll try to prescribe
 Whatever dumps you down, sick o' earning your stripes
 I think it's time for you to get your memory wiped
 Like I did
 All of your values are losing their value
 The American dream is just fool's gold
 I'm bringing you bad news, I'm sorry I have to
 The American dream is just fool's gold
 Let's grab all our pitchforks
 We're starting a riot
 Let's try to enjoy your
 Quarter-life crisis
 So tell all your best friends (so tell all your best friends)
 We're lighting our torches (we're lighting our torches)
 'Cause we've hit a dead end ('cause we've hit a dead end)
 'Cause we've hit a dead end!
 All of your values are losing their value
 The American dream is just fool's gold
 I'm bringing you bad news, I'm sorry I have to
 The American dream is just fool's gold
 The American dream is just fool's gold (just fool's gold)
 The American dream is just fool's gold (just fool's gold)
 I'm bringing you bad news, I'm sorry I have to
 The American dream is just fool's gold
