better than ezra - american dream lyrics
she was a midwestern prom queen
got her boyfriend headed out west
they ended up in the valley
in a one room apartment
a disconnected phone
yeah
now five years later she’s single
she’s got two kids and a note
and if she gets a moment to herself
she can remember how everything used
to go her way
she says
where did the time go
when everything was simple and free?
i want to know what happened
somebody woke me before i could
have my american dream
for twenty years he worked corporate
he planned to early retire
his ceo he stole a billion dollars
now he’s working at denny’s
hoping for a raise
he thinks
where did the time go
when everything was simple and free?
i want to know what happened
somebody woke me before i could
have my american dream
yeah, yeah, yeah
i’m a little bit rebel
i’m a bit patriot
i can see they’re both sides of the coin
but still it gets a bit rough
everything is screwed up
i guess its just the american way
sometimes i wonder how you are
you’re up in new york city with a family
i think i could have been your guy
it’s just a moment in time that is slipping on away
where did the time go
when everything was simple and free?
i want to know what happened
somebody woke me before i could have
my american dream
my american dream
yeah, yeah, yeah
she was a midwestern prom queen
got her boyfriend headed out west
