Took some time to see if

If I could find what can't be found

Down to the store to buy some love

And now they're charging by the pound

But when I was a little boy my dad said I could be just what I want

And now the only thing that counts is how much cash you got

Tried to find a little rebellion that I call my own

It turns out baby that they, they done sold it long ago

"Want to start a revolution? Sit right down right here and sign this line."

Went to speak my mind but they bought and sold the rights

Where is my

American Dream?

This isn't anything I've seen

Done turning stones

And rolling bones

Looked so much better on TV

Searching for just who I was every single day

With every little step I took I got lost along the way

Now I'm back and wiser from what all those people say

I can't buy back all that time

I guess that's the price you pay

Where is my

American Dream?

This isn't anything I've seen

Done turning stones

And rolling bones

Looked so much better on TV

Ooo, I need that American Dream

Ooo, It looked so much better on TV
