American Dreamlast night i dreamed
of a hundred million McMansions all across America burning down the smoke rose up to the sky it was carried on the wind all the way down to the Mexican border where it choked the guards at the prison camps or at least brought tears to their eyes in my American dream, in my American dream i bought some over-the-counter, lemony fresh anti-depressants some jelly beans, and a book on how to make pancake batter the girl at the checkout smiled like a TV star and said “that’s fake news!” as she gave me my change she said “listen up snowflake, all lives matter!” in my American dream, in my American dream then i realized everyone was carrying at least one gun they were all filing into a Waffle House on Route 44 on every other corner they were beating up someone for wearing a mask as a cop with his knee on a Black man’s neck married the girl next door in my American dream, in my American dream then one by one all the people stepped into a voting booth where they each fell through a trap door and landed in a Russian disco some random guy laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Affordable Apartment and wandered off singing I Left My Heart In San Francisco in my American dream, in my American dream a girl in a FOX News t-shirt and six inch heels was goosestepping down the avenue a defense contractor in a hot pink Humvee pulled up beside her said "won't you join me for molotov cocktails? i know a nice little Iranian restaurant" but then that new death ray he was tinkering with unfortunately fried her in my American dream, in my American dream when i woke up, y'all, it was morning morning in America stepped out to get the paper, saw my nextdoor neighbor lieutenant William F. Calley he said "you really oughtta try this napalm it's the only way to care for your grass" then he hopped into a long black hearse and drove off with Mustang Sally in my American dream, in my American dream Copyright Samm Bennett - all rights reserved To return to Lyrics Contents Page, please click on LYRICS in the menu bar above |
