Lyrics The Living End – Death Of The American Dream
Text:
The star spangled banner has been torn to shreds
They put a warrant out for Mickey Mouse’s head
Welcome to the factory where nightmares are made
Elvis left the building
Can I get a price check on guns in aisle 4?
The madman in the playground wants to start another WAR!
D.E.A.T.H. of the American Dream
Know what I mean?
Turn on the TV and the circus is in town
Old Uncle Sam is gonna sacrifice a clown
The Cadillac ran out of gas on highway 55
The statue of Liberty won’t make it out alive
D.E.A.T.H. of the American Dream
Know what I mean?
The star spangled banner has been torn to shreds
They put a warrant out for Mickey Mouse’s head
Welcome to the factory where nightmares are made
Elvis left the building
Lincolns turning in his grave
Turn on the TV and the circus is in town
Old Uncle Sam is gonna sacrifice a clown
The Cadillac ran out of gas on highway 55
The statue of Liberty won’t make it out alive
All the blood in your veins
Starting to run down the drain
Everyone kicks you and calls you names
But I still love you all the same
There is a fire coming our way
Burning a hole across fifty states
And laugh in your face
But I’ll defend you
‘Til my dying days
There’s still time to make this right
To find your way back to the light
You’ve come too far to let this be
The death of the American dream
Death of the American dream
