7 o' clock on the dot The workers are here to punch the clock And everyone knows To hit the lights and start the show You work your fingers to the bone Make the dollar the head of the home And it makes me want to scream This is the end of American Dream Sometimes I'm feeling down Sometimes I feel caged Every time I look around It's the same god-damn thing All of the local shops are closed No money for food or clothes And everyone sees To give up on their dreams The day they were born they plowed the land They planted the seed, they called it man And everyone grows They harvest the crop and nobody knows The towers falling down And all we feel is rage Their plans are safe and sound America, we can save This is the end of American Dream (guitar solo) As the death toll rises Who do we blame? They use the news to fuel the flame They shroud our eyes so we are blind We're always 3 steps behind Congressmen do as they're told They sell the rights for riches and gold And they want us to believe they give a damn about our dreams This is the end of American Dream (x4)

Baby! Why you hurt me so bad? I work all night and day Doing the best I can Yeah! And baby! You turned me away You nag all night and day Wrecking what we had Yeah! And it goes on all night and day It goes on all night and day It goes on all night and day, yea It goes on all night and day Go! All night and day! Oh!!! Living with the bitch! Maybe! I can have my own way? Yeah! I work all night and day Bring home my hard earned pay Yeah! Baby! You can go away Yeah! Dirty bitch, eat the ditch, broken dish, lazy bitch I have one wish! I make the switch! And it goes on all night and day It goes on all night and day It goes on all night and day, yea It goes on all night and day All night and day Oh!!! Living with the bitch! I went to the doctor the other day He gave me what I need He took away my heartache and my pain He said that bitch, you gotta leave I need a break!

Things will never change They just stay the same Dream another dream You've played your last scene Time took so long Everything is gone! It's gone! Oh baby it's gone! It's gone Take me from this place So I'll forget your face As the years fade away Won't be much to say My soul is so scarred It was so damn hard Our love went wrong Everything is gone! It's gone! Oh baby it's gone! It's gone It's gone All the love we made It's gone It's the price we paid It's gone All the love and trust It's gone No more we no more us! It's gone All the time we had It's gone The good and the bad It's gone The plans for us It's gone Our time turned to dust It's gone! It's gone!

She said you got to find a way to get me out of here today They said you have to stay the baby will soon be here Ok! Maybe if we pray the baby will be ok Things will be alright just hang in there my dear And the days just linger on The baby's hearbeat's strong Hope starts to settle in That's when it begins There's no answer to why! Why our baby has to die Maybe this is just a test to see if we can handle this Hush now baby don't you cry, I will sing you a lullaby The time has come to face this risk My god can we handle this? And the room felt out of place Void of feelings, just empty space The nurse tells her to push on There's no heartbeat something's wrong! Daddy's waiting here to greet your pretty face Fah la la la la la la la la la la la la La! La! La! La! La! Dream a pretty dream that takes you away from this Your Mom and Daddy's angel now fly away to heaven's gate And the pain starts to settle in Our hearts are broken Our little baby's gone I held her 'till her heart was gone
