Songtexte Waking Up (From The American Dream) - Taylor Nauta

Inflation's high and it ain't coming down
A new Ford'll cost you more than your first house
The Stars and Stripes are fadin'
Common sense has left the station
And we've buried normal six feet in the ground

Division's running wild on every channel
And if you disagree you're getting cancelled
We've traded conversation for self-medication
And the truth is something we can't seem to handle

You're just making a living
Or making a killing
These days it seems there ain't no in between
We're too blind to see the light
Right is wrong and wrong is right
And everybody hides behind a screen
A lot of mouths are running
But they ain't saying nothing
Waking up from the American dream

Imagine if we tried to show forgiveness
And stayed a little more out of each other's business
Choose actions over words
I bet we could all be heard
If we'd just shut up long enough to listen

You're just making a living
Or making a killing
These days it seems there ain't no in between
We're too blind to see the light
Right is wrong and wrong is right
And everybody hides behind a screen
A lot of mouths are running
But we ain't saying nothing
Waking up from the American dream

Yeah, you're just making a living
Or making a killing
These days it seems there ain't no in between
We're too blind to see the light
Right is wrong and wrong is right
And everybody hides behind a screen
A lot of mouths are running
But we ain't saying nothing
Waking up from the American dream

Oh, we're just waking up
Yeah, we're just waking up
From the American dream
