Don't know where things went wrong
Might have been when you were young and strong
Don't know where things went wrong
Might have been when you were young and strong
Love brought joy and life brought pain
The emptiness of money and a name
After that, things got a little rough
In the American dream

American dream, American dream
American dream, American dream

I used to see you on every TV
Your smiling face looked back at me
American dream, American dream
I used to see you on every TV
Your smiling face looked down on me
American dream, American dream

Then they caught you with the girl next door
People's money piled on the floor
Accusations that you try to deny
Revelations and rumors begin to fly

American dream, American dream
American dream, American dream
American dream, American dream
American dream, American dream

You wake up in the middle of the night
Your sheets are wet and your face is white
You tried to make a good thing last
How did something so good go bad so fast?

American dream, American dream
American dream, American dream

Now you think about reaching out
Maybe get some help from above
American dream, American dream
Now you think about reaching out
Maybe get some help from above
American dream, American dream

Reporters crowd around your house
Going through your garbage like a pack of hounds
Speculating what they may find out
It don't matter now, you're all washed up

American dream, American dream (all washed up)
American dream, American dream

Don't know where things went wrong
Might have been when we were young and strong
American dream, American dream
Don't know where things went wrong
Might have been when we were young and strong
American dream, American dream
Don't know where things went wrong
Might have been when we were young and strong
American dream, American dream
Don't know where things went wrong
Might have been when we were young and strong
American dream, American dream
