American Dream

Well you've got one eye open On your backstreet cruising You know you had a surprise But with the radio talking And a cool moon walking Over your little eyes And it's like, OK don't you cry in your sleep You know this wasn't my American dream Well you've got one eye steady on the radio baby You know you ain't fooling me And it's like talk it up, talk it up, talk it up anyway And it's like every single day Things just happen this way You know you're running as fast as you can But the kids read the news And the kids they get confused It just keeps coming like a hurricane And it's like talk it up, talk it up, talk it up anyway Well OK don't you cry in your sleep You know this wasn't my American dream Well you've got one eye steady on the radio baby You know you ain't fooling me And it's like talk it up, talk it up, talk it up anyway So don't go cutting down trees When you're trying to get lost In my forest baby Don't you cut down me Well talk it up, talk it up, talk it up anyway And it's like, OK don't you cry in your sleep You know this wasn't my American dream Well you've got one eye steady on the radio baby You know you ain't fooling me And it's like talk it up, talk it up, talk it up anyway
