LCD Soundsystem - american dream Lyrics

Wake up with somebody near you

And at someone else's place

You took acid and looked in the mirror

Watched the beard crawl around on your face

Oh, the revolution was here

That would set you free from those bourgeoisie

In the morning everything's clearer

When the sunlight exposes your age



But that's okay

And that's okay



Grab your clothes and head to the doorway

If you dance out, no one complains

Find the place where you can be boring

Where you won't need to explain

That you're sick in the head and you wish you were dead

Or at least instead of sleeping here you prefer your own bed, come on

You just suck at self-preservation

Versus someone else's pain



So you feel drained

And insane

And insane



He was leather and you were screaming

Swinging chains against the stage

And you couldn't know he was leaving

But now more will go with age, you know

So get up and stop your complaining

You know that you're the only one who's been destroying all the fun

Look what happened when you were dreaming

Then punch yourself in the face

So you kiss and you clutch but you can't fight that feeling

That your one true love is just awaiting your big meeting

So you never even asked for names

You just look right through them as if you already came

It's a drug of the heart and you can't stop the shaking

'Cause the body wants what it's terrible at taking, oh

And you can't remember the meaning

But there's no going back against this california feeling



Dream

(Sha-bang, sha-bang)

American dream

(Sha-bang, sha-bang)

American dream

(Sha-bang, sha-bang)

American dream

(Sha-bang, sha-bang, oh oh)
