[00:00.000] This dream can't be
[00:03.221] What it used to be, ever again
[00:09.348]
[00:18.186] I don't want this dream or the grievance it brings
[00:21.287] Can't justify greed at the cost of equality
[00:23.186] Tangled in endless archaic chains of power, profit, gain
[00:27.855] What about the poor bearing poverty's marks
[00:29.920] What about the sick whose lives are torn apart
[00:31.769] What about those whose rights aren't respected
[00:34.637] A nation of youth dejected
[00:35.877]
[00:36.248] It's time to rethink this dream you call American
[00:40.405] Corrupt beliefs that some will call their heritage
[00:44.642]
[00:51.637] A burdened soul once searching for liberty
[00:55.380] Crowned in debt as the new face of slavery
[00:57.192] Tied by design with a senseless hope
[00:59.150] And a never ending rope
[01:01.563] What about the leaders abusing authority
[01:03.397] Corrupt moral compass guarded bureaucracy
[01:05.600] What about those who died so we can live our complacency must end
[01:08.757]
[01:09.205] It's time to rethink this dream you call American
[01:13.650] Corrupt beliefs that some will call their heritage
[01:18.041] This dream can't be
[01:21.434] What it used to be, ever again
[01:30.872]
[01:33.690] Spirits of the slain hiding in the corners of my mind
[01:38.899] Screaming when I kneel to look inside
[01:41.447] Stomach ****ing turning and now it's disconcerting
[01:45.282] Fight fire with fire, you'll see everyone's burning
[01:49.035] Turn on the TV for the murder spree
[01:52.550] Get distracted while they take your civil liberty
[01:55.902] Thoughts and prayers again, is that what it'll take
[02:00.019] Which industries profit while lives are at stake
[02:03.526] Now hear the media fools discuss the killer's mind
[02:07.247] Staring at the screen to tell us what they find
[02:11.309] Manifesto, dollar worship, get on your knees
[02:14.809] So they can sell us a cure for the American disease
[02:18.477]
[02:18.687] It's time to rethink this dream that they call American
[02:24.906] Corrupt system of beliefs some will call their heritage
[02:32.509] It's time to rethink this dream that they call American
[02:39.889] So one day it can mean something real again
