American Dreams Lyrics by Drew Thomas
Do you wanna be famous like the people you see
up on the billboard down the street?
Do you wanna be rich and make your parents proud
buy a big house, have all your friends round?
Do you wanna be pretty like the boys on TV
Everyone staring when the lights go green?
Do you wanna be ripped and have the perfect smile
Wear the best clothes and take them off in style?
American dreams are all that I need
Sell your soul just to be on the screen.
American dreams are all that I need
Could have it all if you wanna believe
Do you wanna be the cover of a big magazine
Other guys lust at what they could have been?
Do you wanna get drunk but not feel like shit
Give away all your money because you don’t need it?
Wanna be waiting backstage at a show
Everyone screaming; they don’t wanna go home?
You wanna be loved, and you wanna be hated
You want it so bad, and now you just can’t take it
American dreams are all that I need
Sell your soul just to be on the screen
American dreams are all that I need
Could have it all if you wanna believe
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Sell your soul just to be on the screen
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Could have it all if you wanna believe
You wanna be enough,
Be what they’re dreaming of
But when it all comes down,
You’ll give it all for picket fences
Here’s your life; how did you spend it?
Where the hell is my American dream?
American dreams are all that I need
Sell your soul just to be on the screen
American dreams are all that I need
Could have it all if you wanna believe
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah.
Sell your soul just to be on the screen
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Could have it all if you wanna believe
