Lyrics 'Merican dream - Shungudzo

Ooh, oh, ooh
Ooh, oh, ooh

America is a car salesman
He sold me a car with no engine
I tried to give it back
He told me, "Sorry ma'am, but this shit is yours now"

America is a postcard dream
With palm trees and bodies hotter than lit kerosene
Nah, he don't want no foreigners to see beyond the ocean lust
Here, people work their whole lives to be homeless
People work their whole lives to be hopeless

'Merican dream
My only hope
Turns out to be
Mirrors and smoke
'Merican dream
Don't breathe, you'll choke on pageantry
Mirrors and smoke

America is a dictator, while
Capitalism is a very pretty word, the
Truth of the matter is we're in a labyrinth
And unless you're born rich you might not get out of it

America wants to put his flag in a suit, on the moon
On your roof, in Iraq, now
So many die for it and so many lie for it
He ain't the good guy, he just got real good at hiding it

'Merican dream
My only hope
Turns out to be
Mirrors and smoke
'Merican dream
Don't breathe, you'll choke on pageantry
Mirrors and smoke
