I had a face so cute, made a young girl cry And I could blow 'em away with just a wink of my eye I got all dolled up on a Saturday night Can't find a lady, so I'll start a fight Hey, but ain't that the American Dream?
But at school the young boys would assemble down in the parking lot And we spoke of the homecoming queen and all the goodies she's got Well, those stories would choke a semi And every dare was, do or die Hey, but ain't that the American Dream?
Well, I grew up believin' I could do what I wanted to do But when I got a little older, I found that it just wasn't true Well, there's gotta be a place for me Where I can be just what I want to be Hey, but ain't that the American Dream?
