North American Dream

Whoa-oh

Whoa-oh

Whoa-oh-oh, oh

You can take a day or two, but no more than that

We’ve got a real strict schedule to meet

Don’t you want to keep the lights on in that house?

Don’t you want to keep shoes on your kid’s feet?

See, they don’t care if you’re sick

They don’t care if you’re ill

They need you to do things nobody else will

‘Cause if the lights go out

That American dream moves on

Are you tired of living

Two weeks at a time?

Working paycheck to paycheck

Fighting just to stay alive

As it goes on, you’re left behind

To wonder what life could have been like

If you were born in a different time

So don’t let it die, whoa-oh

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh

Can we talk about timing?

Or should we talk about love?

Maybe we should just walk away

And pretend it ain’t in our blood

‘Cause either you’re something or you’re nothing

You’re broken or you’re loving

Well, if loving means nothing

Being broken meant something to me

Being broken meant something to me

Whoa-oh

Are you tired of living

Two weeks at a time?

Working paycheck to paycheck

Fighting just to stay alive

As it goes on, you’re left behind

To wonder what life could have been like

If you were born in a different time

So don’t let it die

‘Cause either you’re something or you’re nothing

You’re broken or you’re loving

Either you’re something or you’re nothing

You’re broken, you’re broken, whoa-oh

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh

Are you tired of living

Two weeks at a time?

Fucking paycheck to paycheck

Fighting just to stay alive

As it goes on, you’re left behind

To wonder what life could have been like

If you were born in a different time

So don’t let it die, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Don’t let it die, whoa-oh-oh-oh
