American Nightmare

Living in the shadow
 Of the ivory tower
 The meek of this earth
 It's where we live and cower
 We are slowing dying
 Withering on the vine
 The question isn't if
 It's when will be the time
 Fall from the cradle straight into the grave
 Every minute in between just a slave to the machine
 The only choice is to survive there's no getting out alive
 There's no way to prepare for the American nightmare
 From the very moment
 Of our conception
 Born into the lie
 Immaculate deception
 Locked in our cages
 Lie down and submit
 Instinctively follow
 We never question it
 Fall from the cradle straight into the grave
 Every minute in between just a slave to the machine
 The only choice is to survive there's no getting out alive
 Live the dream but beware of the American nightmare
 From the very moment
 Of our conception
 We live the lie
 Unnatural selection
 Fall from the cradle straight into the grave
 Every minute in between just a slave to the machine
 The only choice is to survive there's no getting out alive
 Welcome to the cross to bear for the American nightmare
