Bob Barton - American Dream (SHADOW)

lyrics

All you gotta do is work hard
And you can rise up that ladder
All you gotta do is try hard
And you can rise up
But it was just a dream
America wake up from your slumber
You’re having a dream
And it’s time to wake up

Land of the free, home of the brave
With the highest incarceration rate
Not my sense of Justice
Not my sense of free
Pretty hard to climb up
Out of poverty

All you gotta do is work hard
And you can rise up that ladder
All you gotta do is try hard
And you can rise up
But it was just a dream
America wake up from your slumber
You’re having a dream
And it’s time to wake up

Will we get it right can we turn the page
Where livin the dream is not a sarcastic phrase
Give hard work the praise
Like the teachers teachin the youth every day
Will we help each other rise up
Will we lend a helping hand
Instead of fighting each other
Because after all we share this land

But it was just a dream
America it’s your dream
But it’s just a dream
