The American Dream
Walls of Jericho - The American Dream
I've watched my whole life
I've felt those calloused hands and looked into those broken eyes
One more bleeding heart that will never see its time
burn it down. Everything I've loved is gone
I've played my final song
Sell your soul for something meaningless
A slow death for the corporate mess
and we call this happiness
What are we left with in the end? Defeat
A lifetime of obedience kicking in your teeth
burn it down. Everything I've loved is gone
I've played my final song
We were sold a promise of a better tomorrow
We were told that our choices were our own
Promised the opportunity of a lifetime
Deceived we could be all we can be
