American dreams

All Work No Play May Have Made Jack A Dull Boy
But All Work No God Has Left Jack With A Lost Soul
But He's Moving On Full Steam
Chasing the American Dream
He's Gonna Give His Family
The Finer Things

"Not This Time Son, I Have No Time To Waste"
Maybe Tommorow We'll Have Time To Play
Then He Slips Into His New BMV
And Drives Farther and Farther and Farther Away

Cause He Works All Day
And Tries To Sleep At Nite
He Says Things Will Get Better
Better In Time

So He Works and He Builds With His Own Two Hands
And He Pours All He Has For A Castle Made Of Sand
But The Wind and The Rain Are Coming Crashing In
Time Will Tell Just How Long His Kingdom Stands
His Kingdom Stands

Well This American Dream Is Beginning To Seem
More and More Like A Nightmare
With Every passing day
Daddy Can You Come To My Game
Oh Baby Please Don't Work Late
Another Wasted Weekend
And They Slip Farther Away

Cause He Works All Day
And Lays Awake At Nite
He Tells Then Things Will Get Better
Just Give It A Little More Time

So He Works and He Builds With His Own Two Hands
And He Pours All He Has For A Castle Made Of Sand
But The Wind and The Rain Are Coming Crashing In
Time Will Tell Just How Long His Kingdom Stands
His Kingdom Stands

They Use to Say
Whoever Dies with the most toys wins
But When They Loses Their Soul
What has he gain in the end
I'd Take A Shack On A Rock
Before A Castle In the Sand

Cause He works all day and
Cries alone at nite
It's not getting any better
Feels like he's running out of time

Cause He Worked and He Built With His Own Two Hands
And He Poured All He Had For A Castle Made Of Sand
But The Wind and The Rain Are Coming Crashing In
Time Will Tell Just How Long His Kingdom Stands
His Kingdom Stands

All I really wanted was you
All I really wanted was you
All I really wanted was you
