American Dream

[Verse 1] I turned on the news last night and Saw a few things that didn't sit right People holding signs I couldn't believe One said this ain't the land of the free My mama's daddy fought back in 'Nam He'd be ashamed of how far gone This country's strayed from what it used to be Well, these days seems like every red light's Just another spot for an "Anything helps" sign Written by a man with whiskey on his breath Used to be you could have your own opinion Now if you want to speak your mind you gotta get permission It's all black vs white and right vs left [Pre-Chorus] Could somebody tell me where we're gonna be [Chorus] If we don't start looking out for each other Learning how to love your neighbor like a brother Find out where it all went wrong Turn the light at the end of that tunnel back on Hit your knees and pray a little longer 'Cause Lord knows if we work a little harder Maybe one day we'll wake up and be Back in that American dream [Verse 2] Suit and ties buying up all the farmland Taking food out the mouth of a blue collar man If there's one thing I know It ain't gettin' better if we don't [Chorus] Start looking out for each other Learning how to love your neighbor like a brother Find out where it all went wrong Turn the light at the end of that tunnel back on Hit your knees and pray a little longer 'Cause Lord knows if we work a little harder Maybe one day we'll wake up and be Back in that American dream That American dream [Pre-Chorus] Could somebody tell me where we're gonna be [Chorus] If we don't start looking out for each other Learning how to love your neighbor like a brother Find out where it all went wrong Turn the light at the end of that tunnel back on Hit your knees and pray a little longer 'Cause Lord knows if we work a little harder Maybe one day we'll wake up and be Back in that American dream That American dream
