American Dream - Dominic Balli, Sonny Sandoval Of P.O.D.

I was just a boy when they told me

What you gonna be and they sold me

The American Dream for a small fee

The price of my life and my own dreams

What about a dream where the Kingdom comes

Peace on the earth and his will be done

What about a dream where the people fight

Not for fortune and fame but for saving lives

She’ll consume your future if you just let her be

Hold the world a hostage From sea to shining sea

You can call her freedom, but she can’t set you free

And don’t you dare disgrace her She’s our American dream

American dream

I was never told that the high life

Would demand my soul such a high price

I’ve been drinking the Kool-Aid the whole time

Believing the dream till it stole mine

What about a dream where the people cry

For the healing of a land both soul and mind

What about a dream where the dream was changed

Not for change sake but for the highest gain

They say cash rules everything around me it seems

For thirty pieces of silver you can buy you a king

And forfeit your soul become a slave to the machine

Some would sell they’re own momma for the American pipe dream

Redemption disregarded to the good news imparted

Exempt from consequence spiritual free-dumb to free-tarded

Morally decayed selfish in my ways I live to get paid

I’m so American made

American Dream (America the American Dream)

American Dream (What does it cost for my American Dream)

Program me then program the future

Program schools and program the teachers

Program youth then program the future

Then program me to think I can lose her

Trap me hold me mind and my body

Teach my feet to walk like Zombie

Consume my life with the dollar sign

Till I pledge my allegiance to lose my mind

American Dream (America the American Dream)

American Dream (What does it cost for my American Dream)

American Dream (America the American Dream)

American Dream (What does it cost for my American Dream)
