"American Dream" lyrics - ALABAMA SHAKES

[Intro:]
I thought we wanted the same things
I must be dreaming

[Chorus:]
(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

[Post-Chorus:]
What are we doing?
What are we doing?

Out of reach, doublespeak
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 EPA, sure is hot today
Low-grade fever, lower-wage people
How many folks got shot this week?
Mmm, it's enough to make you wanna go back to sleep

[Chorus:]
(The American Dream)
I wanna go back to sleep now
(The impossible dream)
I can't keep dreaming
(The American Dream)
(The impossible dream)

[Outro:]
Keep dreaming
Keep dreaming
Keep dreaming
Keep dreaming
Keep dreaming
Keep dreaming
Keep dreaming
Keep dreaming
Keep dreaming
