American Dream

Pink suitcase and a princess gown A movie star in my own town She said she came back home so she can breathe She takes her pills and sings her songs With a broken delivery all night long And the life she had to live was tragedy Daddy worked for Jesus Sister leads the band Bobby's out of rehab And Lizzy's going in Mother's medicated Nothing's what it seems Suddenly she finds out the American dream She woke up late in the afternoon She smiled at me said I'm leaving soon Why don't you pack your things and come with me Then she takes her pills and sings her songs With a broken delivery all night long Screaming Hollywood was made for you and me Daddy worked for Jesus Sister leads the band Bobby's out of rehab And Lizzy's going in Mother's medicated Nothing's what it seems Suddenly she finds out the American dream Now the stars don't shine in Hollywood Daddy worked for Jesus Sister leads the band Bobby's out of rehab And Lizzy's going in Mother's medicated Nothing's what it seems Suddenly she finds out the American dream
