I'ma just keep watching, I think my heart's stopping
Nicotine fiend of a man
I was born this way, I'm a government slave
And I was raised on stolen land
And it's a hard up kinda life
Begging the ashtray for nickels and dimes
Writing these songs trying to wrap my mind around
A bullshit American dream
ย
I'm still a six-gun owning, bet the truth hurts, don't it?
Won't you catch me if you can?
I hope all is well, it'll be a cold day in hell
When you pry it from my dying hands
'Cause it's a hard up kinda life
When paying your dues don't get you by
You're working all week to make some overtime
To pay from this bullshit American dream
ย
I've heard once to be dreaming
Means you've got to be asleep
And I've grown tired of counting these sheep
I had a dream I was drugged
And when I finally woke up
I went and blew up my TV
'Cause it's a hard up kinda life
You're not allowed to get yourself a natural high
Here's a pill to help you sleep, just give it some time
Now you're addicted to this bullshit American dream
ย
And it's a hard up kind of life
Begging the ashtray for nickels and dimes
Writing these songs trying to wrap my mind
Around a bullshit American dream
