Lyrics
American Nightmare © 2001 Richard C. Kelly Jr. All rights reserved Chasing a dream, living a nightmare How I got here, I don't wanna' go there All my toys and gadgets, they don't comfort me Seem's like what I ask for ain't exactly what I need This ain't what I need Wanted dead or alive the American dream, yeah Wanted dead or alive the American dream. Bought me a house, it's got a big yard Now I gotta' mow it, now that shouldn't be hard My neighbor bought a tractor, rides in luxury Now my old push mower just ain't good enough for me It ain't good enough for me. Wanted dead or alive the American dream, yeah Wanted dead or alive the American dream. [New bridge lyrics !!] (I'm thinkin' bout') Big Condos, S-U-Vs, Should I fill my gas tank or buy a big TV? Then I wake up in the mornin' a screamin' What were you a thinkin'? Where the hell you goin? Wanted dead or alive the American dream, yeah Wanted dead or alive the American dream. I drive a commute, it's not that far But, sometimes walking is faster than my car Wrecks and rubber-neckers, causing long delays It's getting hard to breath now driving through the haze It's such an awful haze. Wanted dead or alive the American dream, yeah Wanted dead or alive the American dream.
