lucinda williams – american dream lyrics
last time i saw you, you had dirt under your nails
your eyes were gl-ssy and you looked so pale
you said my life has become a livin’ h-ll
ain’t got enough money to pay my bills
everything is wrong
everything is wrong
got a friend with a needle stuck in his arm
he got hooked on heroin in vietnam
it used to help kill the pain some of the time
now i can’t sleep at all since i got back home
everything is wrong
everything is wrong
i worked in the strip mines off and on
now i can’t seem to get rid of this cough
ain’t been many jobs these last few months
and the last one i had i got laid off
everything is wrong
everything is wrong
i ain’t got no hot water and they shut off the heat
can you loan me some money for something to eat
been out here on this corner for about a week
tryin’ hard to stand on my own two feet
everything is wrong
everything is wrong
they want to try and tell me where i can live
they kicked me off my land and told me they’d give me
a nice little tract house with running water
but how am i gonna explain that to my navaho mother
everything is wrong
everything is wrong
my american dream almost came true
but the things they promised me never came through
i believe in the american dream
but things are never quite what they seem
everything is wrong
everything is wrong
everything is wrong
everything is wrong
