American Dream

Lyrics

[Intro] Dream...! [Verse 1] Talk you into my life, it's up to you I don't need no interviews Of your mind, I see through you I'll be your analyst and your doctor too I'll be your patient, if I can get to you You can call me a rock star It seems to fit with you [Chorus] All-American dream, I'm not as bad as I seem While all America screams Everywhere I go, I've got to put on a show I can't take it no more All-American dream full of material things Sometimes it makes you scream Every time I fly, it's either do or die For the American pie [Verse 2] A fantasy is what I am, is what I am (a fantasy) No way, I won't go I'm wishing that you could be just a fan-to-see (Fast nights) Fast nights, fast girls They're tickled pink, but their minds are blue away Backstage autographs I never get surprised When the girls start to laugh [Chorus] All-American dream, I'm not as bad as I seem While all America screams (we wanna rock!) Everywhere I go, I've got to put on a show I can't take it no more (we wanna scream!) All-American dream full of material things Sometimes it makes you scream (we wanna rock!) Every time I fly, it's either do or die For the American pie (we wanna scream!) [Bridge] Oh, yeah... it's the run-around in my Chevrolet... Impala, s'up mama And then I look behind me, and I see the girls on the bicycle Riding me down, they just wanna ride Then all of a sudden, I see the police behind me Beside me, they're everywhere And they say, uh... "What you doin' with them girls?" And I say, "I'm just your friendly neighborhood rockstar" And I'm trying to [?] And it's time for me to go, you know And remember: just because I wave my hand, don't mean I'm gone And just because I say goodbye, it don't mean "so long" Let me play my guitar, 'cause I gotta get outta here Your all-American dream... is gone! [Chorus] All-American dream, I'm not as bad as I seem While all America screams (we wanna rock!) Everywhere I go, I've got to put on a show I can't take it no more (we wanna scream!) (We wanna rock!) [Outro] Off we go, into the wild blue yonder...
