My Own American Dream

Someone got let me down from the roof

And it sounds as if they're less than satisfied

I can't make out if they're telling the truth

I think I'll need a little background anyhow

Someone called me and I don't recognize

The number on the screen, so I pay no mind

I can't stop thinking how my phone is a friend

But I need a little space between us

I got my own, American dream

I got my own, American dream

Don't look now, I think a camera flashed

And I think I saw a big man running off

I try my best to look an innocent guy

As innocent as only an innocent guy can

Oh, where do you go from here?

I said, oh, where do you go from here?

I got my own, American dream

I got my own, American dream

I got my own,  American dream

I got my own American dream

The revolution's not being televised

But my television's been revolutionized

Everything that I thought was a lie

Came around and I saw it with my own two eyes

Just walking along, minding my own business

Relaxing in the garden, smelling the flowers

I'm smelling the roses

I'm smelling the roses

I'm smelling the roses

I'm smelling the roses

I got my own, American dream

I got my own, American dream

I got my own,  American dream

I got my own,  American dream
