[Verse 1] I woke up again with the sounds of the world outside I put on my clothes back to work Are you somewhere getting by? You're pushing me in front of the crowd But I'm afraid they bite They're making me apart of the world And I don't have any fight [Chorus] It's starting to hurt my head This American dream again [Verse 2] You step into the light for a while Then you blink and it's gone It used to be a beautiful thing But now it just feels wrong [Chorus] It's starting to hurt my head This American dream again It's starting to hurt my head This American dream again It's starting to hurt my head This American dream again It's starting to hurt my head This American dream again
