We Killed the American Dream

We killed the dream!
 Yeah!
 We killed the...
 Here we are, where the fire starts
 And then it burns forever
 Take a good idea, add in greed and fear
 And now our sons, they all got tempers
 This is a requiem, sing it
 We, we're wasting time
 And we, we're running blind
 Nails dug in so deep our faces wince
 But we regain composure
 Buried teeth in skin, with knuckles sliced and red
 From sitting quiet in the corner
 This is a love song, sing it
 We, we're wasting time
 And we, we're running blind
 Familiarity breeds contempt
 And we, we killed the dream
 We killed the American dream
 We killed the American dream
 I'm getting dead tired, oh
 Been alone in a meadow, love
 You've been out for an hour, oh
 Well, I know
 Your hollow head's been dreaming for you
 Screaming a storm while you lie in plain view
 Taking liquids that would make you desirable
 Well, I know
 Well, I know
 Sing it!
 We, we're wasting time
 And we, we're running blind
 Familiarity breeds contempt
 And we, we killed the dream
 We killed the American dream
 We killed the American dream
 We killed the American dream!
 We killed the dream!
 Yeah!
 We killed the.
