Neil Young – American Dream Lyrics

Rock

[ti:American Dream (live)]
[ar:Neil Young]
[al:A Perfect Echo Vol 5_1]
[offset:400]

Don't know when
Things went wrong,
Might have been when you
Were young and strong
Don't know when
Things went wrong,
Might have been when you
Were young and strong

Love brought joy
And life brought pain
The emptiness of money and a name
After that things got a little rough
In the american dream
American dream
American dream
American dream

I used to see you
On every T.V
Your smiling face
Looked down at me

I used to see you
On every T.V
Your smiling face
Looked down at me

Then they caught you
With the girl next door,
People's money
Piled on the floor,
Accusations
That you try to deny,
Revelations
And rumors begin to fly

American dream
American dream
American dream

You wake up in the middle
Of the night
Your sheets are wet
And your face is white,
You tried to make
A good thing last,
How could something so good,
Go bad, so fast?

American dream, American dream
American dream, American dream

Now you think about
Reaching out
Maybe get some help
From above
Now you think about
Reaching out
Maybe get some help
From above

Reporters crowd around
Your house
Going through your garbage
Like a pack of hounds,
Speculating what they
May find out,
It don't matter now,
You're all washed up

American dream, American dream
American dream
