American Dream

We broke down, trying to leave town
Flying down the road to change
We were born to run, Cali here we come
Escape from nowhere USA
Say goodbye to white picket fences
Say hello to palm trees and benz's
They say you gotta fall to have it all
Well we don't want two kids and a wife
I don't want a job, I just want a life
Sometimes the underdogs rise
And the mighty fall
This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
'Cause Jack left Diane thirty years ago
The world is spinning too fast for you and me
So tell me whatever happened to the American dream?
I know a girl, I met her last night
She was fresh off the plane
She whispered in my ear "baby come here
I'll do anything to make a name"
Honey take my hand and follow me
'Cause I don't wanna hurt you but he does
I just wanna give you some real advice
Never take candy from a stranger
And keep your eyes open for danger
'Cause this right here is a twisted paradise
This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
'Cause Jack left Diane thirty years ago
The world is spinning too fast for you and me
So tell me whatever happened to the American dream?
This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
So baby let's live and die before we're getting old
You know that nothing is the way it used to be
So tell me whatever happened to the American dream?
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na...
We were born to run, Cali here we come
We're getting out of here baby
Let's get out of here
This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
'Cause Jack left Diane thirty years ago
The world is spinning too fast for you and me
So tell me whatever happened to the American dream?
This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
So baby let's live and die before we're getting old
You know that nothing is the way it used to be
So tell me whatever happened to the American dream?
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na...
