[Verse]
Neon streets hum
Cold and bare
Empty promises float in the air
The suits don't see us
They just stare
At numbers
At profits
At smoke they declare
[Prechorus]
We built their thrones
Brick by brick
Now the walls crumble
It makes me sick
[Chorus]
This is the American nightmare
Where dreams dissolve into thin air
They sold us hope
But never cared
We’re lost in the American nightmare
[Verse 2]
Skyscrapers rise
But hearts fall low
A hollow anthem
A puppet show
Freedom's a word they trade for gold
We scream for change
But the silence grows old
[Prechorus]
The stars and stripes
They bleed and fray
While the people fade
Day by day
[Chorus]
This is the American nightmare
Where dreams dissolve into thin air
They sold us hope
But never cared
We’re lost in the American nightmare
