The American Dream?

This is my song about the current declining situation of the good ole' USA.

lyrics

Verse 1:
There’s a shadow on the heartland, it’s heavy as the sky
The fields are dry, the towns are quiet, and no one’s askin’ why
The rich keep gettin’ richer, while the rest just scrape and pray
And the dream we built this country on is slippin’ away

Chorus:
Oh, The American Dream is callin’ your name
But it’s cracked at the seams, and we’re all to blame
It’s a house on fire, it’s a runaway train
Oh, The American Dream—will it ever rise again?

Verse 2:
The boomers left their legacy, but now it’s sinkin’ fast
The billionaires are feastin’ while the future fades to black
Plumbers, nurses, builders—there ain’t enough to go around
And the debt keeps risin’, draggin’ us deeper underground

Chorus:
Oh, The American Dream is callin’ your name
But it’s cracked at the seams, and we’re all to blame
It’s a house on fire, it’s a runaway train
Oh, The American Dream—will it ever rise again?

Bridge:
Ninety percent of the wealth in one percent’s hands
Leaves the rest of us stranded in these broken lands
We’re fightin’ over scraps while they’re takin’ it all
If we don’t stand together, we’re bound to fall

Chorus (Extended):
Oh, The American Dream is cryin’ for change
It’s a ghost in the night, it feels so strange
It was built on hope, but now it's pain
Oh, The American Dream—can we make it whole again?

Outro:
So wake up now, America, before it’s too late
We’ve gotta mend this broken dream before it seals our fate
The road ahead is rocky, but together we can try
To save The American Dream before it withers and dies
