American Dream - MKTO

Lyrics by：Emanuel Kiriakou/Evan Bogart/Andrew Goldstein/Lindy Robbins/Brandyn Burnette

Composed by：Emanuel Kiriakou/Evan Bogart/Andrew Goldstein/Lindy Robbins/Brandyn Burnette

Do something with your life

Do something with your life

Do something with your life

Do something with your life

Do something with your life ooh

With your life

We broke down trying to leave town

Flying down the road to change

Change

We were born to run Cali here we come

Escape from Nowhere USA SA SA

Say good-bye to white picket fences

Say hello to palm trees and Benzes

They say you got to fall to have it all

And we don't want two kids and a wife

I don't want a job I just want a life

Sometimes the underdogs rise

And the mighty fall

Mighty fall

This ain't the same Summer song that you used to know

'Cause Jack left Diane thirty years ago

The world is spinning too fast for you and me

So tell me whatever happened to the American dream

I know a girl I met her last night

She was fresh off the plane

She whispered in my ear

Baby come here I'll do anything to make a name

Honey take my hand follow me 'cause

I don't want to hurt you but he does

I just want to give you some real advice

Baby

Never take candy from stranger

And keep your eyes open for danger

Because this right here is a twisted paradise

This ain't the same Summer song that you used to know

'Cause Jack left Diane thirty years ago

The world is spinning too fast for you and me

So tell me whatever happened to the American dream

This ain't the same Summer song that you used to know

So baby let's live and die before we're getting old

You know that nothing is the way it used to be

So tell me whatever happened to the American dream

Na na na na na na na na

Take a long na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na

We were born to run Cali here we come

We're getting out of here baby

Let's get out of here ooh

Aaaaaaa

This ain't the same Summer song that you used to know

'Cause Jack left Diane thirty years ago

The world is spinning too fast for you and me

So tell me whatever happened to the American dream

This ain't the same Summer song that you used to know

So baby let's live and die before we're getting old

You know that nothing is the way it used to be

So tell me whatever happened to the American dream

Na na na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na na ooohhh
