American Bad Dream lyrics

[Verse 1]

Remember when ninth grade was about gettin' laid

Skippin' class tryin' not to get caught?

Now you gotta take a test in a bullet proof vest

Scared to death that you might get shot

It's like I just closed my eyes

Everybody started fallin' for the Devil's disguise

That hides behind the lines

That hide the truth and I just can't take it no more

[Chorus]

So wake me up from this American bad dream

Is it this messed up, or is it really reality?

I'm becomin' numb to all of this tragedy

Somebody wake me up from this American bad dream

From this American bad dream

[Verse 2]

I remember goin' 10 over the limit would just get you a ticket

Just an inconvenience gettin' stopped

Bad cops played the jury, made the good ones worry

About showin' up and doin' their job

It's like I just closed my eyes

Everybody started fallin' for the Devil's disguise

That hides behind the lines

That hide the truth now I just can't take it no more

[Chorus]

So wake me up from this American bad dream

Is it this messed up, or is it really reality?

I'm becomin' numb to all of this tragedy

Somebody wake me up from this American bad dream

Yeah this American bad dream

From this American bad dream, oh

[Bridge]

It's like I just closed my eyes

Everybody started fallin' for the Devil's disguise

Damn

[Chorus]

So wake me up from this American bad dream

Is it this messed up, or is it really reality?

I'm becomin' numb to all of this tragedy

Somebody wake me up from this American bad dream

From this American bad dream

Wake me up, wake me up

Wake me up from this American bad dream

From this American bad dream
