Politcians telling us that things will change
The more I see the news, you know it stays the same
People still at war, people out in the street
The players get the shade and we got the heat
The American dream that never came true
I've had enough now how about you
You better run, don't think twice
Looks like we've got trouble in paradise
Well I don't know if we can get out alive
Looks like we've got trouble in paradise
Oh preachers and teachers tell us not to forget
Religions gonna save you but it ain't done it yet
Try out this new view, a guru, a fix
You're not gonna fool me with the same old tricks
The American dream that never came true
I've had enough now how about you
You better run, don't think twice
Looks like we've got trouble in paradise
Well I don't know if we can get out alive
Looks like we've got trouble in paradise
Oh oh you better run, don't think twice
Looks like we've got trouble in paradise
Well I don't know if we can make it alive
Looks like we've got trouble in paradise
I'm just trying to stay alive
Keep it simple cut and dried
Maybe next year or tomorrow, It will all be gone
Hope they prove me wrong
You better run, don't think twice
Looks like we've got trouble in paradise
Well I don't know if we can get out alive
Looks like we've got trouble in paradise
Oh you better run, don't think twice
Looks like we've got trouble in paradise
I don't know if we can make it alive
Looks like we've got trouble in paradise
Don't think twice,
Get back, hold on for your life
Looks like we've got trouble in paradise
