Lyrics

LCD Soundsystem — american dream

Wake up with somebody near you

And at someone else's place

You took acid and looked in the mirror

Watched the beard crawl around on your face

Oh, the revolution was here

That would set you free from those bourgeoisie

In the morning everything's clearer

When the sunlight exposes your age

“american dream” was last played on 1 May 2026 at Roadrunner, Boston.
