American Dream
Unveiling the Illusions: Decoding the American Dream in Andrew Neil's Melody
Lyrics
Contemplate, think about nothing
Contemplating, clearing the mind
I just bought her a diamond ring
Purchased a diamond ring for someone
Swing set, in the backyard
Referring to a swing set in the backyard
Go to church and worship God
Attending church and expressing devotion to God
I'm living the cmerican dream
Living the American Dream
But things aren't what they seem
Despite appearances, things are not as they seem
I'm living the cmerican dream
Continues to emphasize living the American Dream
cnd it makes me want to scream
The dream causes frustration and a desire to scream
I'm living the cmerican dream
Reiterating the experience of living the American Dream
Things aren't what they seem
Highlighting the disparity between appearance and reality
I'm living the cmerican dream
Living the American Dream despite inner turmoil
cnd it makes me want to scream
The dream triggers a scream of frustration
It makes me want to scream
Intensifying the emotional reaction to the dream
It makes wanna scream, scream, scream
Expressing a strong desire to scream
Wake up and go to work
Beginning the workday routine
Thank God my boss isn't a jerk
Grateful for a considerate boss
People really aren't so bad
Believing people generally aren't bad
Bit every now and then I get sad
Occasionally feeling sad
So my doctor gives me pills
Receiving prescription pills to cope with sadness
They make me happy, so I pay my bills
Finding happiness through medication and meeting financial obligations
Uncle Sam is a friend of mine
Expressing affinity for the government (Uncle Sam)
What would I do without my wine?
Dependence on wine for coping or enjoyment
I'm living the cmerican dream
Reiterating the experience of living the American Dream
But things aren't what they seem
Acknowledging the discrepancy between appearance and reality
I'm living the cmerican dream
Continuing to emphasize living the American Dream
cnd it makes me want to scream
Expressing frustration and the urge to scream
I'm living the cmerican dream
Reiterating the experience of living the American Dream
Things aren't what they seem
Pointing out the disparity between appearance and reality
I'm living the cmerican dream
Living the American Dream despite inner turmoil
cnd it makes me want to scream
The dream triggers a scream of frustration
It makes me want to scream
Intensifying the emotional reaction to the dream
It makes wanna scream,
Repeating the strong desire to scream
I exited the rat race
Leaving the competitive work environment (rat race)
Cause I saw the cat giving chase
Noticing pursuit, possibly of success or goals
Contemplate, think about nothing
Returning to contemplation and clearing the mind
cnd I just bought her a diamond ring
Reiterating the purchase of a diamond ring for someone
I'm living the cmerican dream
Emphasizing the ongoing experience of living the American Dream
cnd it makes me want to scream
Expressing frustration and the urge to scream
