American Dreams

She bought her self worth at the five and dime
Perfection is on sale for limited time
She likes it, sugar with a salt kiss
But it doesn't cover up the misery inside
She'd rather just go on and live a lie
But did you ever think about it?

Yeah did it ever float across your empty mind?
Did you ever think about it?
Yeah did your motives ever stop to take their time?
We see the world through prisms of viewpoint romanticized
Yeah did you ever think about it?
Yeah did it ever cross your mind?
Everything you want is by design

You hate it when I go and speak my mind
Hate to be a burden, a terrible person
But I never sugarcoat or lie behind a smile
You've got to be yourself once in a while
But did you ever think about it?

Yeah did it ever float across your empty mind?
Did you ever think about it?
Yeah did your motives ever stop to take their time?
We see the world through prisms of viewpoint romanticized
Yeah did you ever think about it?
Yeah did it ever cross your mind?

Oh
Oh
Oh
But did you ever think about it?
Yeah did it ever float across your empty mind?
Did you ever think about it?
Yeah did your motives ever stop to take their time?
We see the world through prisms of viewpoint romanticized

Yeah did you ever think about it?
Yeah did it ever cross your mind? (oh)
Yeah did it ever cross your mind? (oh)
Yeah did it ever cross your mind? (oh)
Yeah did it ever cross your mind?
