Two Steps Behind Lyrics by Madcap

Stand Your Ground

0

[Verse 1]
One life to live is all we really get
And we think we live, but all of us are dyin'
A little more each day
It's six o'clock, time to get up
And get ready for work 'cause we can't be late
Or else we won't get paid

[Pre-Chorus]
And everybody wants to make a little more
Than all your friends livin' next door
Security in exchange for emptiness
Is the price in the USA

[Chorus]
Two steps behind of the American dream
Two steps behind and then some more
Two steps behind is where you'll find my boys and me
This all-American dream's more like a nightmare to me
And all I wanna do is wake up

[Verse 2]
How much money will it take
How many hours a day
Will keep you from the grave?
Mr. Gates, are you gonna freeze yourself
Like Mr. Disney did?
To keep your dream alive
So you won't have to die

[Pre-Chorus]
And everybody wants to make a little more
Than all your friends livin' next door
Security in exchange for emptiness
Is the price in the USA

[Chorus]
Two steps behind of the American dream
Two steps behind and then some more
Two steps behind is where you'll find my boys and me
This all-American dream's more like a nightmare to me
And all I wanna do is wake up
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!

[Outro]
Two steps behind of the American dream
Two steps behind and then some more
Two steps behind is where you'll find my boys and me
This all-American dream's more like a nightmare to me
This all-American dream's more like a nightmare to me
This all-American dream's more like a nightmare to me
This all-American dream's more like a nightmare to me
And all I wanna do is wake up
