somebody's sister — American Dream lyrics

Lyrics

Hey, American dream
Dream, dream, dream
Hey, American dream, going up in smoke
Thomas Jefferson, your promises are broke
Times are changing, it ain’t no joke
Hey, revolution, take back your vote
Take back your vote
It don’t matter what we say or do
When you sense that the government ain’t working for you
Every politician’s got goods to pay
Into the hands of the government, paying his way
Hey, American dream, going up in smoke
Thomas Jefferson, your promises are broke
Times are changing, it ain’t no joke
Hey, revolution, take back your vote
Take back your vote
Ripoffs, payoffs, collusion, payoffs
It’s the crime in the street
Where’s the car on the beat
Dirty air, broken rules
Gunfight in a broken school
Times are changing, it ain’t no joke
Hey, revolution, take back your vote
Because the kings of the corporation
Taking over the nation
Money from your pocket
Feeding corporate profit
And when they got something at stake
They find a candidate
You can buy a Governor
President and a Senator
When you got cash on hand
You can buy laws of the land
Ooh, revelation:
Gotta take your vote back from the corporation
Hey, Sam Adams, if only you could see
When people tied up, they’re gonna rise up
Under tyranny
Taking the power back down to you and me
That’s a revolution you call, you call
Democracy
Hey, American dream, going up in smoke
Thomas Jefferson, your promises are broke
Times are changing, it ain’t no joke
Hey, revolution, take back your vote
Take back your vote
Had enough! Ooh
Clean it up!
Get back on track
Gotta take your vote back
