American Dream lyrics

I'm learning lessons from making mistakes

If I get burned no embers break

You told me I'm your destiny

Somehow your power gets the best of me.

Repeatedly I get neglected

You claim that I am unperfected

Now watch my frustration grow

And wonder why this girl let go

Do what you want, make me into your American Dream

Say what you want, it's just another part of your mad machine

Make what you want, who can I blame?

You're all the same

Is it just me, sleeping with the enemy?

I've travelled 50 states of miserable

I walk on through the intolerable

Emotions blink, no landscapes change

A map between a rock and a dark place

I might be alright

I could be okay

I don't think I would try to throw it away-ay

Oh-h-h-h

Oh-h-h-h

Do what you want, make me into your American Dream

Say what you want, it's just another part of your mad machine

Make what you want, who can I blame?

You're all the same

Is it just me, sleeping with the enemy?

If you prescribed anything

Numb reality and bring

Back to me those melodies

That you always take from me

Do what you want, make me into your American Dream

Say what you want, it's just another part of your mad machine

Make what you want, who can I blame?

You're all the same

Is it just me, sleeping with the enemy?

Oh-h-h

Oh-h-h

Do what you want, want, want, want, want, want

Do what you want, want, want, want, want, want

Into your American Dream

Your American Dream, Dream, Dream

Do what you want, make me into your American Dream

Say what you want, it's just another part of your mad machine

Make what you want, who can I blame?

You're all the same

Is it just me, sleeping with the enemy?
