Lyrics
0:03This town's cemetery of dead dreams it's very scary
0:09Hearing old friend screaming out my name
0:12My name, my name
0:15They all must be exhausted
0:17Good thing there
0:18Handed a coffin told to shut up and smile
0:22While they wave, wave, wave
0:26You're dreaming of someday
0:27Hitting a runaway with only a one‑way from this lie
0:31And you're getting closer to finding the closure
0:34To say that it's over
0:37All the old values are losing their value
0:43The American dream is just fool's gold
0:49I'm bringing you bad news, I'm
0:52Sorry I have to
0:54The American dream is just postcard
1:02This town's a monument full of backhanded compliments
1:08And all that envy's something I enjoy, enjoy
1:11Enjoy a bunch of brainwashed kids
1:14That they'll try to prescribe
1:15Whatever dumbs you down, say you're earning your stripes
1:18I think it's time for you
1:20To get your memory wiped like I did
1:24All your values are losing their value
1:30The American dream is just for scorn
1:36I'm bringing you bad news
1:39I'm sorry I have to
1:41The American dream is just for scorn
1:49Let's grab our pitchforks
1:50We're starting a riot
1:55Let's try to enjoy your quota life crisis
2:01So tell all your best friends
2:02Tell all your best friends
2:04We're lighting up torches
2:05Lighting up torches
2:06Cause we've hit a dead end
2:09We've hit a dead end
2:11All the old values are losing their value
2:17The American dream is just for score
2:23I'm bringing you bad news
2:26I'm sorry I have to
2:28The American dream is just for score
2:34The American dream is just for score
2:46I'm bringing you bad news
2:49I'm sorry I have to
2:52The American dream is just postcard
This town's cemetery of dead dreams it's very scary Hearing old friend screaming out my name My name, my name They all must be exhausted Good thing there Handed a coffin told to shut up and smile While they wave, wave, wave You're dreaming of someday Hitting a runaway with only a one‑way from this lie And you're getting closer to finding the closure To say that it's over All the old values are losing their value The American dream is just fool's gold I'm bringing you bad news, I'm Sorry I have to The American dream is just postcard This town's a monument full of backhanded compliments And all that envy's something I enjoy, enjoy Enjoy a bunch of brainwashed kids That they'll try to prescribe Whatever dumbs you down, say you're earning your stripes I think it's time for you To get your memory wiped like I did All your values are losing their value The American dream is just for scorn I'm bringing you bad news I'm sorry I have to The American dream is just for scorn Let's grab our pitchforks We're starting a riot Let's try to enjoy your quota life crisis So tell all your best friends Tell all your best friends We're lighting up torches Lighting up torches Cause we've hit a dead end We've hit a dead end All the old values are losing their value The American dream is just for score I'm bringing you bad news I'm sorry I have to The American dream is just for score The American dream is just for score I'm bringing you bad news I'm sorry I have to The American dream is just postcard
