The American Nightmare

(Getting ready for bed at a regular time)

(Is one of the most important habits you can learn)

(David has probably never stopped to think)

(What a wonderful thing sleep is)

(Dreams are normal, too)

(Going to bed at a regular time each night)

(Makes it easier for you to go right off to sleep)

Rest your head, here's a lullaby

A melody for heavy eyes

Early to bed, early to die

Welcome to your worst nightmare

Fast asleep, it's all in your head now

Past the street where they cursed my name

But I won't be forsaken

Craven, my revenge from the shallow grave

Where I went down in flames

The beast has been awakened

When night comes creeping

My cruel hand will rock you to sleep

I'm the American nightmare with American dreams

Of countin' the bodies while you count sheep

I'm the American nightmare, yeah, I'm livin' the dream

I'm slashing my way through the golden age of the silver scream

(Sweet dreams)

Fell in love with hate 'cause evil fit like a glove

It's fate that I'm still here

And I won't be forsaken

Wicked when I was just a man

But sickening now and fed by fear

The beast has been awakened now

They all think it's just pretend

(You'll never, ever sleep again)

All your friends are fucking dead

You can't turn down your own death bed

When night comes creeping

My cruel hand will rock you to sleep

I'm the American nightmare with American dreams

Of countin' the bodies while you count sheep

I'm the American nightmare, yeah, I'm livin' the dream

I'm slashing my way through the golden age of the silver scream

I'm the American nightmare, I'm the man of your dreams

Where the glove is god

So I'm sinking my claws in the silver scream

One, two, dreams do come true

Three, four, see you at the morgue

Five, six, he'll get his fix

Seven, eight, now shake the twisted hand of fate

Now shake the twisted hand of fate

All your friends are fucking dead

When night comes creeping

My cruel hand will rock you to sleep

I'm the American nightmare with American dreams

Of countin' the bodies while you count sheep

I'm the American nightmare, yeah, I'm livin' the dream

I'm slashing my way through the golden age of the silver scream

I'm the American nightmare, I'm the man of your dreams

Where the glove is god

So I'm sinking my claws in the silver scream
