American Dream

An old familiar scene

Fresh cut grass, holes in jeans

American dream

Out of touch it seems

To be the actor

To play the part

Lights go down the movie starts

And the story goes on forever

Beginning and ending

Over and over again

Green light then we go

Streetlights seem to know

My head’s aglow

With so many thoughts you don’t know

A preacher shakes his fist

Watching strangers in the park kiss

Right now is all there is

Over and over

Over and over again
