lyrics

I am a dream, the American Dream
Say it with me, we are the American Dream

They’re killing people in the streets
Black boys and girls dying in the streets
Minorities in the hands of police
Filming only adds to the obscenity

Love my country, hate what that means
The war on drugs, militarized police
Love my country, don’t know if I’d leave
But can't stay if this is how it’s gonna be
Love my people, wish they’d love me
Not the first on the scene but the last to leave
Love my people, wish they’d love each other
If we can love ourselves we can love one another

Feel like I used to be someone
Now a cog in a machine that produces nothing
Afraid of my own irrelevancy
In a world fueled by corporate greed
Money and power over everything
Still waiting to hear freedom ring
But now we’re in chains that we can’t see
Too busy scrolling through a twitter feed
Alone but connected to everything
Alienation is how they’ve conquered me
They’ll conquer you too, just wait and see
Hashtag your way through a wilhelm scream
Sedated you with complacency
Prescription pills and shitty tv
They'll make you think you don’t own a thing
You’re property to them, not a human being
Fucked our way to the bottom of a pyramid scheme
Trickle-down economics feeding the stream
When you’re raised in shit, shit is all you’ll see
They’ll educate you enough to fund their means
They’ll lose a battle, but they’ve won this war
They already own the things you’re fighting for
They know only losers keep score
Cuz pacifism never won any wars
They’ll divide you with race and class all day
But we’re not different, we’re the fucking same
So if you’re tired of playing their game
Stop allowing them to divide and conquer

I am a dream, the American Dream
Say it with me, we’re the American Dream
I am a dream, the American Dream
Say it with me, we’re the American Dream
