Memphis May Fire - The American Dream lyrics

[Memphis May Fire - The American Dream lyrics]

I wouldn't call this a victory
We pick sides and fight because
We can't agree to disagree
You never wanna listen, you just speak
Light a match to the bridge but there's
No difference between you and me

Show your teeth
Try to cover up your insecurity
Underneath
But throwing salt in the wound
Won't stop the bleed

I don't know who I can trust anymore
I need a "he said" "she said" reset
Give me truth
Give me something to believe in
Sometimes I feel like we're asking for more
We live for the war
But we don't know what we're dying for
We don't know what we're dying for

We live and die in desire of our pride
Look away from corruption 'cause what's out
Of spite is out of mind

Show your teeth
Try to cover up your insecurity
Underneath
But this is not what it means to be free

I don't know who I can trust anymore
I need a "he said" "she said" reset
Give me truth
Give me something to believe in
Sometimes I feel like we're asking for more
We live for the war
But we don't know what we're dying for
We don't know what we're dying for
We don't know what we're dying for

Vultures circle in the land of the free
The American dream is tearing at the seams

The American dream is never what it seems

I don't know who I can trust anymore
I need a "he said" "she said" reset
Give me truth
Give me something to believe in
Sometimes I feel like we're asking for more
We live for the war
But we don't know what we're dying for
We don't know what we're dying for
We don't know what we're dying for
We don't know what we're dying for
We don't know what we're dying for
