American Dreams Lyrics

    All Work No Play May Have Made Jack A Dull Boy
    But All Work No God Has Left Jack With A Lost Soul
    But He's Moving On Full Steam
    Chasing the American Dream
    He's Gonna Give His Family
    The Finer Things

    "Not This Time Son, I Have No Time To Waste"
    Maybe Tommorow We'll Have Time To Play
    Then He Slips Into His New BMV
    And Drives Farther and Farther and Farther Away

    Cause He Works All Day
    And Tries To Sleep At Nite
    He Says Things Will Get Better
    Better In Time

    So He Works and He Builds With His Own Two Hands
    And He Pours All He Has For A Castle Made Of Sand
    But The Wind and The Rain Are Coming Crashing In
    Time Will Tell Just How Long His Kingdom Stands
    His Kingdom Stands

    Well This American Dream Is Beginning To Seem
    More and More Like A Nightmare
    With Every passing day
    Daddy Can You Come To My Game
    Oh Baby Please Don't Work Late
    Another Wasted Weekend
    And They Slip Farther Away

    Cause He Works All Day
    And Lays Awake At Nite
    He Tells Then Things Will Get Better
    Just Give It A Little More Time

    So He Works and He Builds With His Own Two Hands
    And He Pours All He Has For A Castle Made Of Sand
    But The Wind and The Rain Are Coming Crashing In
    Time Will Tell Just How Long His Kingdom Stands
    His Kingdom Stands

    They Use to Say
    Whoever Dies with the most toys wins
    But When They Loses Their Soul
    What has he gain in the end
    I'd Take A Shack On A Rock
    Before A Castle In the Sand

    Cause He works all day and
    Cries alone at nite
    It's not getting any better
    Feels like he's running out of time

    Cause He Worked and He Built With His Own Two Hands
    And He Poured All He Had For A Castle Made Of Sand
    But The Wind and The Rain Are Coming Crashing In
    Time Will Tell Just How Long His Kingdom Stands
    His Kingdom Stands

    All I really wanted was you
    All I really wanted was you
    All I really wanted was you
