American Dream

American Dream

See all the pretty girls dancing on the floor,
Donning ribbons and their lacy pinafores.
I always wished I could be, I always wished I could be
Once of those pretty girls dancing on the floor.

I need a revelation!
Go make some revelry.
I seek my soul’s salvation.
I need a place to be…

See all the foolish fishers casting out their lines,
While smoke stack thunderheads gather in the sky.
They think that water is clean, but that water ain’t clean.
See all the foolish fishing casting out their nets.

Seems so simple when you hear that sound…of
a freight train whistle and the rumbling ground.
Go west young man to find your destiny!
Climb all aboard the American dream..

See all the hungry people wishing on a star,
100,000,000 miles I can count that far.
Down here in New Orleans – where’s our American dream?
See all the hungry people wishing on a star.
