Hey, baby

Hey, baby

Maybe I was born sick in a castle on top of the world

Maybe the whole gang is better off

makin' money out fightin' a war

Terminal motion, keeps spinnin' me around

Temporary devotion, with a picket fence and a rowdy crowd

Well, I was sure that everything was goin' fine

Until you took the shot and killed me with your mind

I'm a man and I wanna be honest

I'm better than I used to be

But now the whole world is wired up on the red

white, and the green

And all the boys and girls are growin'

up in a strange American dream

Temperature risin' and the water tastes like blood

Look at all of the sensitive people

screamin' from their yards

And my neighbor down the street

with the pretty face and the rubber jaw

Has plenty there to eat, but she don't share nothin' at all

Well, I was sure that everything was goin' fine

Until you took the shot and killed me with your mind

I'm a man and I wanna be honest

I'm better than I used to be

But now the whole world is wired up on the red

white, and the green

And all the boys and girls are growin'

up in a strange American dream

This ain't nothin' like what I thought it'd be like

When I was a little kid I drew dinosaurs fightin' wars

Behind the doors I reinforced with red, yellow and green

From all the cameras in front of us

I couldn't tell you what it is I see

So I close my eyes and realize that I'm alive

deep inside this strange American dream

But now the whole world is wired up on the red

white, and the green

And all the boys and girls, yeah they're growin' up

In a strange

In a strange

In a strange American dream
