American Dream

[Intro] Do something with your life, do something with your life Do something with your life, do something with your life Do something with your life, do something with your life Do something with your life, do something with your life (Ooh) With your life, with your life, with your life [Bridge: Tony Oller] We broke down, trying to leave town Lying on the road to change We were born to run, Cali here we come Escape from Nowhere, USA [Verse 1: Malcolm Kelley] Say good-bye to white picket fences Say hello to palm trees and Benzes They say you got to fall, to have it all And 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 fall!) [Hook: Tony Oller] This ain’t the same summer song that you used to know Cause Jack left Diane thirty years ago The world is spinning too fast for you and me So tell me whatever happened to the American dream? [Verse 2: Tony Oller] I knew 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." [Verse 3: Malcolm Kelley] Honey take my hand and follow me, cause I don't want to hurt you and he does I just want to give you some real advice Never take candy from stranger And keep your eyes open for danger Because this right here is a twisting paradise [Hook: Tony Oller] 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, na na na na, na na na na na Na na na, na na 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're getting out of here baby Let's get out of here, ooh [Hook] 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, na na na na, na na na na na Na na na, na na na na, na na na na na
