Forgive us for “now” is too late This is not an American dream This is no longer an American dream This is no longer an American dream (American dream)
We are trying to breathe We are trying to breathe underwater Trying to breathe Underwater
The few, the proud, no longer sing their song One nation under God It's us against the world One nation under God It's us against the world It’s us against the world (us against the world) It’s us against the world (us against the world)
We've cut the tongue from society Forcing consumption Never hearing “no” We've brainwashed our children To believe this is destiny Spoiled rotten Still counting their 1, 2, 3's We've brainwashed our children To believe this is destiny Spoiled rotten Still counting their 1, 2, 3's
Forgive us for “now” is too late Forgive us for fueling the flame
This is not an American dream any longer As we've become spoiled, rotten, counting our 1, 2, 3's
Disease infesting our young Beauty has become the beast Beauty has become the beast Beauty has become the beast Beauty has become the beast
