We broke down trying to leave town Driving down the roads of change We were born to run, Cali here we come [?] from nowhere USA
Say goodbye to white picket fences Say hello to palm trees and Benzes They say you have to fall to have it all
(Mmm...)
Yeah, well we don’t want two kids and a wife I don’t want a job I just want a life They say the underdogs rise In my mind you’ll fall
This ain’t the same summer song that you used to know ‘Cuz Jack left Diane thirty years ago The world is spinning too fast for you and me So tell me whatever happened to the American dream
I know a girl I met her last night She was fresh off the plane She whispered in my ear, “Baby come near I’ll do anything to make a name”
Baby, take my hand follow me ‘cuz I don’t wanna hurt you but he does I just wanna give you some real advice
(Listen baby, mmm)
Look, never take candy from a stranger And keep your eyes open for danger ‘Cuz this right here is the twisted paradise
This ain’t the same summer song that you used to know ‘Cuz Jack left Diane thirty years ago The world is spinning too fast for you and me So tell me whatever happened to the American dream
Na na na~
This ain’t the same summer song that you used to know ‘Cuz Jack left Diane thirty years ago The world is spinning too fast for you and me So tell me whatever happened to the American dream
This ain’t the same summer song that you used to know So baby, let’s live and die before we’re getting old You know that nothing is the way it used to be So tell me whatever happened to the American dream
