lyrics

THE AMERICAN DREAM

As I was dating…
As I was dating the American Dream
As I was saying…
As I was saying what I never believe.

It’s how you’re livin’…
How you’re livin’ on the edge in between
It’s what you’re given,
and it’s a given that you’ll never be seen.

And when you pull out
you’re pullin’ more
than just a couple of legs
And what you’re about…
About to face another basket of eggs.

Life among the trees:
Life when you wanna go down
and go down deep
Life in the movies,
Like it’s the only life you wanted to keep.

As I was dating…
As I was dating the American Dream
As I was saying…
As I was saying…

Everybody wants everybody
Everybody wants me.
Everybody wants everybody
Everybody wants me.
