Story Behind the Song
I work and go to school all day, just so that I can be a better slave for my employer who gets richer and richer daily by exploiting me for my knowledge. I was raised from birth to think of this as success in life. I was born into hell and I'm educated to become a great demon for the devils. Knowing all this, I still have to make money to feed my kids and myself.... The American Dream is a NIGHTMARE.
Lyrics
It used to be my dream, It used to be so sweet
I try to be strong, but they just leave me weak
It's not quite what it seems, the evil games they play
Just won't let me sleep, and haunts me everyday
It get's inside my mind, I'm scared to close my eyes
It makes it hard to live, and so easy to die
It's more than meets the eyes, those lies and deceit
Haunt me every day, and just won't let me sleep.
Hook: It's like torture, all those evil things they do to me!
It's like a nightmare, even thought it used to be my dream... American Dream!
They raised me up on lies, to make a fool of me
I live day by day on what they pay me week by week
And all along, the only thing I seek
Is some time to rest, and for some relief
Those evil games they play, haunt me every day
They get inside my mind, so I can't get away
It used to be my dream, it used to be so sweet
now it haunts me everyday, and just won't let me sleep
Hook:
Break:It's like a torture all those crazy evil things they do to me.
It's like a nightmare eventhough it used to be my dream.
They raised me up on lies, to make a fool of me
I live day by day on what they pay me week by week
And all along, the only thing I seek
Is some time to rest, and for some relief....
American Dream
