The American Dream Lyrics

The American Dream

(Ugh ugh)

The American dream is it still the same?

Or has it changed just a different name?

For some it's a promise for others a lie

A dream if you conform but what if you defy?

I thought it was liberty justice for all

The pursuit of happiness standin' tall

Can we find a way to unite?

Speak for the weak but still hold the line

Stand for the lost but don't leave behind

Is that too much to ask or are we runnin' outta time?

Yeah some been marginalized pushed to the edge

They need to be heard that's the pledge

But if we demonize the rest how does that heal?

Isn't that the same pain just a different deal?

We can't fix a wrong by creatin' another

We gotta find a way to lift up each other

Unity's a goal but is it just a dream?

Can we break the cycle or rip at the seams?

Can we find a way to unite?

Speak for the weak but still hold the line

Stand for the lost but don't leave behind

Is that too much to ask or are we runnin' outta time?

The dream should be for everyone not just a few

But it's slippin' away what are we gonna do?

We can't fight hate with more of the same

We gotta rewrite the rules change the game

Can we find a way to unite?

Speak for the weak but still hold the line

Stand for the lost but don't leave behind

Is that too much to ask or are we runnin' outta time?
