Luke Beling - American Dreams Lyrics

American Dreams Lyrics[Verse 1]
We're the rats in the dark, the weeds in the yard
The banged-up Buick in that little used-car lot
We've been pushing the plough, sniffing dimes on the ground
Restless girl when we look at the moon and the stars

[Pre-Chorus]
This parlor trick life
It ain't for you and I, no

[Chorus]
We got backs to the wall
We got nothing's for sure
We got, baby, something more
Than American dreams
We got one-light parades
We got nothings for trade
We got, baby, something today
Not American dreams

[Verse 2]
Baby, tell me you see what they want us to be
A box full of bones for those junkyard dogs to eat
Let me breathe on your coals, burn through your soul
Oh, I'm just as scared, but we got no more life to bleed

[Pre-Chorus]
This sweatshop 'til you die
It ain't for you and I, no

[Chorus]
We got backs to the wall
We got nothing's for sure
We got, baby, something more
Than American dreams
We got one-light parades
We got nothings for trade
We got, baby, something today
Not American dreams
American dreams

[Post-Chorus]
Not American dreams

[Bridge]
Man, the game's a ruthless tyrant
So hard to keep him silent
All the steel-tipped shoes, the 5 o'clock news
The girls wishing for the diamonds
Let's jump the train to nowhere
We'll tell him when we get there
We got barefoot feet, dead-end streets
No more pans to grease

[Chorus]
We got backs to the wall
We got nothing's for sure
We got, baby, something more
Than American dreams
We got one-light parades
We got nothings for trade
We got, baby, something today
Not American dreams
American dreams

[Outro]
Not American dreams (American dreams)
American dreams
Not American dreams (American dreams)
American dreams
