The American Dream

[Verse 1: Peter Cetera]

How many times have you told us

"Rome wasn't built in a day

We can believe in the White House

Everything's cool, go away"?

Capitol Hill, is gonna crumble

Falling apart at the seams

We're mighty tired of seeing you stumble

You're crushing the American dream

How many cries will convince you

People are going insane?

Though you keep preaching of freedom

All of your talk is in vain

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]

Who in the world can we turn to?

Who can we truly believe?

Who really cares what we've gone through?

Who understands? Who gives a damn what we need?

[Verse 2: Peter Cetera]

Maybe there's hope for the future

Hope for the red, white and blue

Long as we trust in each other

There's so much more we can do

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]

Who in the world can we turn to?

Who can we truly believe?

Who really cares what we've gone through?

Who understands? Who gives a damn what we need?

[Outro: Peter Cetera]

How can you say what you want to say?

How can you be what you want to be?
