Lyrics American Dream - Skittish

It's late, and my mind wanders to fate
And i start to ponder, "maybe i can change the world"
"why can't i try to change the world?"
Maybe i'll find the cure for cancer
Or maybe i'll be a famous actor... anything to seem noble
Anything better than being normal
I'd like to save endangered animals
And i'd like to try to fix the ozone hole
I'd like to save the big redwood tree
but i think i'll just sit here and watch TV
We don't care what happens all
around us as long as it doesn't affect us
Plus, that smart guy said it was ok.
.ever wonder how that guy gets paid?
You say that we have bills to pay and that we have work on monday
And i'm pretty comfy on this couch;
guess i'll let our children sort it out
You're lying next to me
In our american dream
