Letras de American Dream

Oh yeah, the American dream
American dream, the American dream

And so you want to get American visa
To go where they say the living′s easier
Since you were young you've been told
You can get anything there bought or sold
Freedom and prosperity for all
Equal opportunities, the call
But words without deeds
Is like a garden full of weeds
So you better take heed

So you better beware
And you better take care
′Cause you just might be heading for a nightmare

Oh yeah, the American dream
American dream, the American dream
Oh yeah, the American dream
American dream is not what it seems

And so it's better to seek a home
In Mount Zion than in Rome
'Cause when the living get dry
A lot of people gon′ cry
Some might even die
And so it′s Africa for Africans
India for Indians
China for the Chinese ones
Europe for the Europeans

And now you understand
I hope you find your land
Because a dream is not reality

Oh yeah, the American dream
American dream, the American dream
Oh yeah, the American dream
American dream is not what it seems

Hey, for some it means power and glory
And still for some a superficial story
Still for some an illusion filled with confusion
And hallucinations
I know for some it means emancipation
Or the member of an organization
For when the big corporations
Get you in litigation
You need protection
From the most high Jah Rastafari

So you better beware
And you better take care
'Cause you just might be heading for a nightmare

Oh yeah, the American dream
American dream, the American dream
Oh yeah, the American dream
American dream, the American dream

Oh yeah, why do you slumber?
American dream, the American dream

And tell you where it is and where it ain′t
Oh yeah, a dream only lasts while you sleep
American dream, the American dream
Yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, go look before you leap
American dream, the American dream
Yeah
Oh yeah, the American dream
American dream, the American dream
Oh yeah, the American dream
