deep down there's something
no one can see in our nation
impersonating the truth
something bigger than you and me
inside there's something
eating away our foundation
when i close my eyes
and i try to sleep
and i dream
the american dream
it's a nightmare to me
the american dream
is a nightmare to me

find the time and take a look inside
at your spinning wheel

ask yourself-at what price
are we free with this vision?
is there anyone here
who really knows what it means to be free?
inside there's something
eating away our foundation
when you close your eyes
and you try to sleep
do you dream
the american dream?

i have seen it eat away
at everyone i ever knew
i can feel it eating me
and i can see it eating you

find the time and take a look inside
at your spinning wheel
free your mind and let your self decide
while you're a burning flame
