rusty reid – worn out american dream lyrics

worn out american dream
music & lyrics by jimmy lafave
additional lyrics by rusty reid (capitalized)

i see no refuge for the weary
i see no way out for the poor
i see no sense of satisfaction
on all the ones who just endure
all the slings and arrows slandered
against the face of the poor man’s dream
where the rich circle in like vultures
picking all their pockets clean

don’t you give me your phony smile
don’t you tell me no more rules
how many people will you trample down
before you’rе finally through
come on, face the situation
and all thе sadness that it brings
you got me lost inside the shuffle of your
worn out american dream

give me no more tv preachers
give me no more racist attitudes
conservative politicians
i got nothing left for you
i’m within my global vision
you see my feelings are my own
some say the days are numbered
i’ll put my faith in sea and stone
take away your evil money
i won’t join in your game
to myself i will be true
to myself i will remain
come on, face the situation
it’s just as desperate as it seems
you got us lost inside the shuffle of your
worn out american dream

don’t know how it came to this
was it ever really real
the dream sabotaged by sophistry
as were our founding ideals
seems more like a nightmare
to those enslaved
and shoved off their lands
the united states of selfishness
is a nation built of sand

don’t give me your tradition
we’re long past due for something new
how many lambs must you slaughter
before you’re finally through
come on, face the situation
can you not hear the silent screams
you got us lost inside the shuffle of your
worn out american dream
you got us caught up in the madness of your
worn out american dream
you got us lost inside the sadness of your
worn out american dream

jimmy’s original lyrics:

i see no refuge for the weary
i see no handouts for the poor
i see no sense of satisfaction
on all the ones who just endure
all the slings and arrows slandered
against the face of the poor man’s dream
where the rich circle in like vultures
picking all their pockets clean
don’t you give me your phony smile
don’t you tell me no more rules
how many people will you trample down
before you’re finally through?
come on face the situation
all the sadness that it brings
got me lost inside the shuffle of
a worn out american dream
give me no more tv preachers
give me no more racist attitudes
politicians, politicians, i’ve got nothing left for you
i’m within my global vision
you see, my feelings are my own
the good book says the days are numbered
so i’m turning towards my home
take away your evil money
i won’t join in your game
to myself i will be true
to myself i will remain
come on face your situation
it’s just as desperate as it seems
you got us lost inside the shuffle of
your worn out american dream
i see no refuge for the weary
i see no handouts for the poor
i see no sense of satisfaction
on all the ones who must endure
all the slings and arrows slandered
against the face of the poor man’s dream
all the rich circle in like vultures
picking every pocket clean
don’t you give me your phony smile
don’t you tell me one more rule
how many lambs must you slaughter
before you’re finally through?
come on, face the situation
and all the sadness that it brings
you’ve got us lost inside the shuffle of
your worn out american dream
you’ve got me caught up in the madness of
your worn out american dream
you’ve got me lost inside the sadness of
your worn out american dream
