"Turbulence (American Nightmare)"
To the empty streets, with boarded up windows
Broken dreams that once lived here
Better times that we stop and try to remember
As those memories don't seem too clear
The shouts under a unrelenting sun go un heard
But the mindless still adhere
We don't know what to say
It was going to happen anyway
The American dream, has become a nightmare (whoa--)
Unconscious, and unaware
The promised land is now a waste land (whoa--)
Stuck in the nine to five command
When tomorrow means nothing
And we can't live for today,
Don't blink, and have no fear this is not a test
Your government has failed you
What you are feeling is called being opressed
Or just your just middle class
We are getting thirsty, and becoming unaddressed
The empty streets are rising
We don't know what to say
It was going to happen anyway
The American dream, has become a nightmare (whoa--)
Unconscious, and unaware
The promised land is now a waste land (whoa--)
Stuck in the nine to five command
When tomorrow means nothing
And we can't live for today,
In a Dick, and George dream
Where the top two percent flourish
While the rest fail;
We will not fail
We will not fail
The American dream, has become a nightmare (whoa--)
Unconscious, and unaware
The promised land is now a waste land (whoa--)
Stuck in the nine to five command
When tomorrow means nothing
And we can't live for today,
