I grew up rich
And my daddy did too
But we’re never happy
In fact, if you knew
That his grandpa killed himself
In the garage
And four of us tried
But we didn’t get far
My aunt stabbed her brother
Deep in the neck
And then they committed her
Schizophrenic
She was lobotomized
For being free
For being dangerous
For what she’d seen
I can tell you I’m unclean
All my dreams end violently
How’d you get so close to me?
Hold me now I’ll never leave
Two anorеxic
And two just got clean
And we nevеr talk about
What it all means
Cuz this is the goddamn
American Dream
A lawyer, a banker
A couple more drinks
Cuz somebody’s daddy
Way back in the day
Made boatloads of money
From owning slaves
And my daddy did too
But we’re never happy
In fact, if you knew
That his grandpa killed himself
In the garage
And four of us tried
But we didn’t get far
My aunt stabbed her brother
Deep in the neck
And then they committed her
Schizophrenic
She was lobotomized
For being free
For being dangerous
For what she’d seen
I can tell you I’m unclean
All my dreams end violently
How’d you get so close to me?
Hold me now I’ll never leave
Two anorеxic
And two just got clean
And we nevеr talk about
What it all means
Cuz this is the goddamn
American Dream
A lawyer, a banker
A couple more drinks
Cuz somebody’s daddy
Way back in the day
Made boatloads of money
From owning slaves
