American Dream

(Do something with your life)
 
 Ooh, ooh
 We broke down, trying to leave town
 Flying down the road to change
 We were born to run
 Cali, here we come
 Escape from Nowhere, USA
 Say goodbye to white picket fences (bye)
 Say hello to palm trees and Benzes
 They say you got to fall to have it all
 Now, we don't want two kids and a wife
 I don't want a job, I just want a life
 Sometimes the underdogs rise
 And the mighty fall (and the mighty will fall)
 This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
 'Cause Jack left Diane 30 years ago
 The world is spinning too fast for you and me
 So, tell me, whatever happened to the American Dream?
 I know a girl, I met her last night
 She was fresh off the plane
 She whispered in my ear
 "Baby, come here, I'll do anything to make a name"
 Honey, take my hand, follow me, 'cause
 I don't want to hurt you, but he does
 I just want to give you some real advice (listen, baby)
 Never take candy from a stranger
 And keep your eyes open for danger
 'Cause this right here is a twisted paradise
 This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
 'Cause Jack left Diane 30 years ago
 The world is spinning too fast for you and me
 So, tell me, whatever happened to the American Dream?
 This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
 So, baby, let's live and die before we're getting old
 You know that nothing is the way it used to be
 So, tell me, whatever happened to the American Dream?
 Na-na-na (ay), na-na-na-na (sing along), na-na-na-na-na-na
 Na-na-na, na-na-na-na (ay), na-na-na-na-na-na
 Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
 We were born to run
 Cali, here we come
 We gettin' out of here, baby
 
 Let's get out of here (oh, whoa)
