we guessed how it was
then we checked
and it's true
the american dream
has dissolved
boo hoo hoo

we're left with blank check books
with pavement and glass
with kids we can't speak to
with cars without gas

oh my god   oh my god
what has happened to us
where were we running
why all the fuss

we guessed how it was
then we checked
and it's true
the american dream
has dissolved boo hoo hoo
