Oh yeah the American dream, American dream The American dream So you want to get American visa Go to where they say the living is easier Since you were young you been told You can get anything there But the soul Freedom and prosperity for all Equal opportunity stalk all But words without deeds Is like a gold wind full of breeze So you better take heed So you better beware And you better take care Cause you just might be there for a nightmare Oh yeah the American dream The American dream The American dream Is not what it seems And so it's better to seek a home In Mount Zion I than in Rome Cause when your lake be get dry A lot of people go comply Some might even die And so is Africa for Africans India for Indians China for the Chinese ones Europe for Europeans And now you understand I hope you find your Land Because a dream is not reality Oh yeah the American dream American dream The American dream Oh yeah the American dream The American dream Is not what it seems Yeah For some it means the power and the glory And still for some a super vision story Still for some an illusion filled with confusion And illusion notions I know for some it means a man's ambition Or the memory of organisation For when the big operations Take you in litigation you need protection From most High Jah Rastafari So you better beware And you better take care Cause you just might be there for a nightmare Oh yeah the American dream The American dream The American dream Is not what it seems (Talked) Why do you slumber From January to December Dream will only last while you sleep Yeah, don't looking' for it there
