LCD Soundsystem - american dream

Written by：James Murphy

Wake up with somebody near you at someone else's place

You took acid and looked in the mirror watched the beard crawl

Around on yr face

Oh the revolution was here

That would set you free from those bourgeoisie

In the morning everything's clearer

When the sunlight exposes yr age but that's OK

But that's OK

Grab yr clothes and head to the doorway

If you dance out no one complains

Find a place where you can be boring

Where you won't need to explain

That yr sick in the head and you wish you were dead

Or at least instead of sleeping here you'd prefer yr own bed

Come on

You just suck at self preservation

Versus someone else's pain

So you feel drained and insane

He was leather and he was screaming

Swinging chains against the stage

And you couldn't have known he was leaving

But now more will go with age you know

So get up and stop yr complaining

You know yr the only one

Who's been destroying all the fun

Look what happened when you were dreaming and then punch yrself in the face

So you kiss and you clutch but you can't fight

That feeling that yr one true love

Is just awaiting yr big meeting so you never even ask for names

You just look right through them as if you'd already came

It's a dr*g of the heart

And you can't stop the shaking cuz the body wants what it's terrible at taking

And you kind of remember the meaning

But there's no coming back against this California feeling

Dream American dream

American dream
