August Burns Red - An American Dream lyrics

Suffocation

Suffocate with no room to breath

Forgive us for “now” is too late

This is not an American dream

This is no longer an American dream

This is no longer an American dream (American dream)

We are trying to breathe

We are trying to breathe underwater

Trying to breathe

Underwater

The few, the proud, no longer sing their song

One nation under God

It's us against the world

One nation under God

It's us against the world

It’s us against the world (us against the world)

It’s us against the world (us against the world)

We've cut the tongue from society

Forcing consumption

Never hearing “no”

We've brainwashed our children

To believe this is destiny

Spoiled rotten

Still counting their 1, 2, 3's

We've brainwashed our children

To believe this is destiny

Spoiled rotten

Still counting their 1, 2, 3's

Forgive us for “now” is too late

Forgive us for fueling the flame

This is not an American dream any longer

As we've become spoiled, rotten, counting our 1, 2, 3's

Disease infesting our young

Beauty has become the beast

Beauty has become the beast

Beauty has become the beast

Beauty has become the beast
