Blackcast - The American Dream

Don't tell me
Don't you tell me
Don't tell me what's best for me
Don't

When you don't know
You don't know what's best for you

Come on let's split this up
I've waited all these years
To get my freedom
I've waited all these years
To find a better life
But it looks the same
It looks the same
Just with a different face
Just with a different face

I have to assimilate and forget my past
But don't forget what's right
Don't forget what's inside your heart
It's not the American dream that I hope for
But it's the American dream that I'll fight for
It's not the color of your skin that defines you
But the contents of your heart that gives meaning to your life

Have you ever been scared to die
Have you ever been scared for life
Have you seen the inside of a rifle pointed in your eye
Have you ever been scared to die
Have you ever been scared for life
Have you seen the inside of a rifle pointed in your eye
Because I know I have
Fuck your first world problems

I had to fight for my life
See
You
In
Hell
See
You
In
Hell
Oh

It's not the American dream that I hope for
But it's the American dream that I'll fight for
It's not the American dream that I hope for
But it's the American dream that I'll die for
