You hang around like the smell of ammonia And I'm trying to weather you out Is this as good as you get California Without a doubt I get a little distressed from the pressure I get sick about doing my best When you get stuck in the business of pleasure You're put to the test American dream Well, I can dream too They're gonna forget no matter what you do American dream I'm living it up for you It's like you wasting away to the border But what if this is as good as you get? There will be time to reflect when its over It's not over yet He's got everything he's ever wanted But he's stuck in a black limousine Outside the windows, they line up to tore him From living the dream American dream Well, I can dream too You're gonna regret no matter what you do American dream I leave it all up to you Everybody wants something better Everybody wants someting good Your know it doesn't get any better In Hollywood American dream Well, I can dream too You're gonna regret no matter what you do And if I can dream American too Just don't let them tell you what you gotta do Don't you ever, never no way You wanna be New York but getting stuck in LA American dream, I give it all up for you
