A moderate tempo, guitar-driven rock and roll song with a catchy slide guitar hook, "American Dream" takes a somewhat cynical, resigned look at the social inequality that defines our present times.
Lyrics
This guy aint my friend, but he's got my number and he's callin' me again, "Please stay on the line"..wants a little piece of anything that's mine, This is how they do it, this is how they've done it before, So hold on to your bootstraps, they're gonna need a little more, Yeah, yeah, yeah! Some folks have it made, while some folks spend the cold night sleeping on a grate, Most of us don't know, how to read the cards, or where the money goes, But there's always something better, always something better up ahead, That's what they've always told me, that's what they'll tell my children when I'm dead. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! So have another beer, it's not like any of them even know we're here, Take it all in stride, no one's ever gonna tell us where they hide, And we won't be at those parties in the Hamptons, where they convene, Yeah it's just another weekend living the American dream! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!
