American Dreamer Lyrics by Temper Tangents

These Modern Times

2015

[Verse 1]
Another Dreamer died today
Lamenting time now passed away
Aspirations inspired time elapsed now
They’ve expired

To think so many lives end the same
Sacrifice to bear the brunt of the weight
Our potential and our Passion
Labor first then love is rationed

[Pre-Chorus]
Decide tonight or always wonder why
Never roll the dice and you will regret for life
What could have been, was meant to be
You’ll wonder why you never stopped
And took a second to see that

[Chorus]
We’re all still bleeding
Without hearts beating
Our lives get wasted away (yeah)

Is there another
Means to recover
Cause our paradise was misplaced (yeah)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah-a-ah...)

[Verse 2]
Born to a life in which we have no say
An arms race with the hands of fate
Fighting fire with fire
Yeah the best men it’ll tire

Another Dreamer died today
Buried alive by the price he paid
For his debts there’s no forgiveness
Once his failures have been witnessed

[Pre-Chorus]
Decide tonight or always wonder why
Never roll the dice and you will regret for life
What could have been, was meant to be
You’ll wonder why you never stopped
And took a second to see that

[Chorus]
We’re all still bleeding
Without hearts beating
Our lives get wasted away (yeah)

Is there another
Means to recover
Cause our paradise was misplaced (yeah)

[Bridge]

[Chorus]
Yeah and we’re still bleeding
Without hearts beating
Our lives get wasted away (yeah)

Is there another
Means to recover
Cause our paradise was misplaced (yeah)
