lyrics

There's a lot that isn't sacred
There's a lot that isn't free
But if you really learn to fake it
And go and get that degree
Then maybe you can taste it
Oh that American dream
You can skate the golden pavement
Standing tall and standing free
In the land of burning hatred
In a pair of blue jeans
Blue blue blue blue jeans
Blue blue blue blue jeans
Blue blue blue blue jeans

This American nightmare is scary and bleak
Your behemoth blunder doesn't care about me
And all the joy wonder that you sold through your teeth
Now we're all going under like a pack of deaf sheep

And who on earth will inherit the meek?

In an American nightmare that's scary and bleak
They say win or be weak
Got piles of pigs on top of piles of sheep
And there's blood in the star sky
The dying choirs deafening shriek
Like the kids in the car ride
Crying out are we there yet

I wanna trip trip trip trip trip trip trip for free
