Lyrics
0:01(Do something with your life)
0:06Ooh
0:11(With your life)
0:12We broke down trying to leave town
0:16Flying down the road to change
0:20We were born to run Cali here we come
0:24Escape from nowhere USA
0:29Say goodbye to white picket fences
0:31Say hello to palm trees and Benzes
0:33They say you gotta fall to have it all
0:36Yeah
0:38We don't want two kids and a wife
0:39I don't want a job I just want a life
0:42Sometimes the underdogs rise
0:44And the mighty fall
0:49This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
0:53'Cause Jack left Diane thirty years ago
0:57The world is spinning too fast for you and me
1:01So tell me whatever happened to the American dream
1:06I know a girl I met her last night
1:09She was fresh off the plane
1:12She whispered in my ear
1:14“Baby come here I'll do anything to make a name ”
1:20Honey take my hand follow me 'cause
1:23I don't wanna hurt you but he does
1:25I just wanna give you some real advice
1:27(Listen baby mmm)
1:29Look never take candy from a stranger
1:31And keep your eyes open for danger
1:32'Cause this right here is the twisted paradise
1:36This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
1:40'Cause Jack left Diane thirty years ago
1:44The world is spinning too fast for you and me
1:48So tell me whatever happened to the American dream
1:52This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
1:56So baby let's live and die before we're getting old
2:00You know that nothing is the way it used to be
2:03So tell me whatever happened to the American dream
2:08Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
2:15Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
2:24Na na na na na na na na na na na na
2:30We we were born to run Cali here we come
2:34Gettin' out of here baby
2:43Let's get out of here
2:52This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
2:56'Cause Jack left Diane thirty years ago
3:00The world is spinning too fast for you and me
3:04So tell me whatever happened to the American dream
3:08This ain't the same summer song that you used to know
3:12So baby let's live and die before we're getting old
3:16You know that nothing is the way it used to be
3:19So tell me whatever happened to the American dream
3:23Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
