Lyrics: I thought we wanted the same things I must be dreaming The American dream Peace. Love. Happiness The impossible dream Opportunity. Freedom I must be dreaming The American dream I must be dreaming I must be dreaming The impossible dream I must be dreaming What are we doing? What are we doing? Out of reach Double speak Got the white house pretty and pimped out Gun reform My body my choice Got the big tv to show you what you didn't even know you wanted Got the E.P.A., sure is hot today Low grade fever, lower wage people How many folks got shot this week It’s enough to make you wanna go back to sleep The American dream I wanna go back to sleep now The impossible dream I can’t keep dreaming The American dream The impossible dream keep dreaming
