American Dreamz
[Verse 1]
We're making murderers famous
They kill a bunch of kids and get on all the front pages
I don't know none of the victims
I know the guns in the system promote the ones who are dangerous
It's become entertainment
We got t-shirts and posters covered in murderers' faces
We got movies getting made portraying killers as saviours
And parents leaving kids alone at home with guns in the basement
Would you pull me from a burning car
Or run to get your phone so you can film it yelling, "World Star"?
A gun don't make a soldier with a purple heart
A gun cannot protect us if we don't know where are morals are
Students fill the classes and the graves
And you claim it's a conspiracy to take your guns away
All the while the families torn apart and tryna ask
Why their son deserved to die at his desk in his class
[Chorus]
We don't want a politician making money off a bullet holes
They're digging our graves, the home of the brave has gone up in flames
Give a fuck about the system, we're not doing what we're told
The land of the free is armed to the teeth, American Dreams
[Verse 2]
We're distracted by free porn and compilation videos of puppies and kittens
While our children use the internet to bully one another and then purchase ammunition
So addicted to your phone that you ignore the kids and never give them any supervision
So they learn to build a bomb with things you keep inside your kitchen and you wonder how they ended up with life inside of prison
We mourned a dead gorilla, but don't care when it's a person, we're forgetting that we're human
We're angry that chickens are being locked up in cages and then forget we do the same to kids in our institutions
When they ask you about stupid shit, you tell 'em they should Google it
Then you wonder why the troubled youth are homicidal lunatics
You think it's tragic when a shooter killed a student
But then say it's all a plan for them to change the constitution
[Chorus]
We don't want a politician making money off a bullet holes
They're digging our graves, the home of the brave has gone up in flames
Give a fuck about the system, we're not doing what we're told
The land of the free is armed to the teeth, American Dreams
[Bridge]
Yesterday will be the same shit as tomorrow
If we don't wake up today
[Chorus]
We don't want a politician making money off a bullet holes
They're digging our graves, the home of the brave has gone up in flames
Give a fuck about the system, we're not doing what we're told
The land of the free is armed to the teeth, American Dreams
