American Dream lyrics

I'ma just keep watching
I think my heart's stopping
Nicotine fiend of a man
I was born this way
I'm a government slave
And I was raised on stolen land

And it's a hard up kinda life
Begging the ashtray for nickels and dimes
Writing these songs trying to wrap my mind around
A bullsh*t American dream

I'm still a six-gun owning
Bet the truth hurts, don't it
Won't you catch me if you can
I hope all is well
It'll be a cold day in hell
When you pry it from my dying hands

'Cause it's a hard up kinda life
When paying your dues don't get you by
You're working all week to make some overtime
To pay from this bullsh*t American dream

I've heard once to be dreaming
Means you've got to be asleep
And I've grown tired of counting these sheep
I had a dream I was drugged
And when I finally woke up
I went and blew up my TV
'Cause it's a hard up life
When you're not allowed to get a natural high
Here's a pill to you sleep, just give it some time
Now you're addicted to this bullsh*t American dream
