An American Dream Lyrics by Daniel Ash

Stripped

2016

[Verse 1]
And I was dreaming in my sleep
Saw through you all
And I was dreaming still on my feet
Saw through you all
[Chorus]
And I saw what you could be
And you just don't feel free
And I saw what you could be
But you just won't be real to me
So let's blame this excess
On an American dream
So let's blame the success
Of an American dream
[Verse 2]
Are you confused by the chaos
In everyone's wandering eyes
Do you dream of running naked
In warm rain
Are you confused by the chaos
It's no, it's no surprise
We all stand next to Jesus
Close to Satan we're both the same
[Chorus]
These birds can't fly away away
These birds can't fly away
So let's blame this excess
On an American dream
So let's blame the success
Of an American dream
Of an American dream
Of an American dream
Of an American dream
[Outro]
Feeling so high and low
It’s the American dream
It’s the American dream
It’s the American dream
It’s the American dream
