Wig Wam - The American Dream
THE AMERICAN DREAM
(Words & Music by Bernt Jansen)
A devil smile from the gambler
The deuces are wild
I see the world through a golden eye
Feels like dancing on the edge of the world
Left for dead, left unfurled
Can't catch my breath
Is this what I deserve?
I'm below but I wanna be high
Cause I'm trapped inside the American dream
The truth is not what it seems
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free
Cause I feel the stare and I feel the fear
Can't break through can't get anywhere
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free
The American dream
All my senses in overload on this dusty road
A raging iron fist in a velvet glove
This burning chill's running up my spine
Terror in the back of my mind
Drinking the kool aid, cause I'm left behind
Cause I'm trapped inside the American dream
The truth is not what it seems
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free
Cause I feel the stare and I feel the fear
Can't break through can't get anywhere
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free
The American dream
The road to hell is paved with honest lies
I'm stuck below but I wanna be high
Cause I'm trapped inside the American dream
The truth is not what it seems
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free
Cause I feel the stare and I feel the fear
Can't break through can't get anywhere
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free
In the American, in the American, in the American dream
