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
