[Tom MacDonald - American Dreamz lyrics]
We're making murderers famous
They kill a bunch of kids and
Get on all the front pages
I don't know none of the victims
I know the guns in the system
Promote the ones who are dangerous
It's become entertainment
We got t-shirts and posters
Covered in murderers' faces
We got movies getting made
Portraying killers as saviours
And parents leaving kids alone at home
With guns in the basement
Would you pull me from a burning car
Or run to get your phone so
You can film it yelling, "World Star"?
A gun don't make a soldier
With a purple heart
A gun cannot protect us if we
Don't know where are morals are
Students fill the classes and the graves
And you claim it's a conspiracy
To take your guns away
All the while the families torn
Apart and tryna ask
Why their son deserved to die at
His desk in his class
We don't want a politician making
Money off a bullet holes
They're digging our graves
The home of the brave has gone up in flames
Give a fuck about the system
We're not doing what we're told
The land of the free is armed to the teeth
American Dreams
We're distracted by free porn and compilation
Videos of puppies and kittens
While our children use the internet to bully
One another and then purchase ammunition
So addicted to your phone that you ignore the
Kids and never give them any supervision
So they learn to build a bomb with
Things you keep inside your kitchen
And you wonder how they ended up
With life inside of prison
We mourned a dead gorilla, but don't
Care when it's a person
We're forgetting that we're human
We're angry that chickens are being locked
Up in cages and then
Forget we do the same to
Kids in our institutions
When they ask you about stupid shit
You tell 'em they should Google it
Then you wonder why the troubled
Youth are homicidal lunatics
You think it's tragic when a
Shooter killed a student
But then say it's all a plan
For them to change the constitution
We don't want a politician making
Money off a bullet holes
They're digging our graves
The home of the brave has gone up in flames
Give a fuck about the system
We're not doing what we're told
The land of the free is armed to the teeth
American Dreams
Yesterday will be the same shit as tomorrow
If we don't wake up today
We don't want a politician making
Money off a bullet holes
They're digging our graves
The home of the brave has gone up in flames
Give a fuck about the system
We're not doing what we're told
The land of the free is armed to the teeth
American Dreams
They kill a bunch of kids and
Get on all the front pages
I don't know none of the victims
I know the guns in the system
Promote the ones who are dangerous
It's become entertainment
We got t-shirts and posters
Covered in murderers' faces
