American Dream Lyrics

A new car, white walls
Push house with a yard
Two kids, one in a shell
Got a color TV, got a stereo
Got a wife who lives in the kitchen

Go to Bingos on Tuesdays
Movies on Saturday
Go to Mom's for Sunday dinner

Harry next door has a white picket fence
He works for the city
Someday soon they're building a pool
Then we'll have a barbecue

Johnny's going to college
When he's old enough
Then we'll have a party
Got two dogs and a cat
Even got a goldfish

Is this all you want?
Are you satisfied with nothing?

Tomorrow, coffins not vacant
Empty homes ashes
Dreams and nightmares
Nightmares are real
The American Dream flames
New car
A metal hoop
