I was running down the highway
Trying to make a living
Nothing but trouble coming my way
And I have nothing left for giving
The radio is playing all the same old songs
And the newsman tells us things we knew all along
I was standing on the outside
Countless miles from the promised land
Where everybody's standing wide-eyed
But no one tries to understand
Oh tell me the truth, baby I wanna know
Tell me where we're going, baby I wanna know
Tell me where to find you, I wanna know
All right (All right) All right (All right) Hey!
Living the American Dream
Living the American Dream
Living the American Dream
Oh! We're running from the devil
Oh! He's snapping at our bootheels
Oh! And I blame it on the dollar
It keeps us moving (Keeps us moving)
I was a stranger to the underground
Feel like a face without a name
And by now I guess I've been around
But I can't help but feel the same
I wake up to the symphony
Of a never ending daily grind
And I try not to let it get to me
But the more I try the more I fall behind
Living the American Dream
Living the American Dream
Living the American Dream
Oh! We're running from the devil
Oh! He's snapping at our bootheels
Oh! And I blame it on the dollar
It keeps us moving (Keeps us moving)
I was running down the highway
Trying to make a living
Nothing but trouble coming my way
And I have nothing left for giving
The radio is playing all the same old songs
And the newsman tells us things we knew all along
Living the American Dream
Living the American Dream
Living the American Dream
Oh! We're running from the devil
Oh! He's snapping at our bootheels
Oh! And I blame it on the dollar
It keeps us moving (Keeps us moving)
It keeps us moving (Keeps us moving)
It keeps us moving (Keeps us moving)
It keeps us moving (Keeps us moving)
It keeps us, it keeps us, it keeps us moving
