American Dream
Unveiling the Dark Tapestry: Decoding the American Dream Lyrics
Lyrics
Hate & crime your mind control
Hate and crime manipulate your thoughts
USA!
Expressing discontent with the state of the USA
Now we know who stole the soul
Identifying a perceived loss of national identity or essence
USA!
Suggesting someone or something has taken away the soul of the nation
Cheat and lie and cheat and tax
Accusing of dishonesty, deception, and excessive taxation
USA!
Highlighting a cycle of dishonesty and taxation in the USA
The media twists the facts
Criticizing media for distorting information
USA!
Pointing out the manipulation of facts by the media
Buy, bye, buy, bye, buy, bye America
Play on words, criticizing consumerism and its impact on America
Buy, bye, buy, bye, buy, bye America
Continuation of criticism towards consumerism and its effects
Buy, bye, buy, bye, buy, bye America
Reiteration of disdain for consumerism and its consequences
Buy, bye, buy, bye, buy, bye America
Continuing to express dissatisfaction with consumerism
AMERICAN DREAM
Emphasis on the theme of the "American Dream"
Dividing lines they know the score
Reference to societal divisions and understanding the situation
USA!
Reinforcing discontent with the state of the USA
We're heading for the race war
Warning or prediction of a potential racial conflict
USA!
Expressing concern about a perceived race war
Police are here to protect
Asserting the role of the police but implying criticism
USA!
Claiming a financial burden due to police-related issues
They take half our paychecks
Alleging a significant deduction from income for societal protection
USA!
Continuing to express financial dissatisfaction with societal protection
Buy, bye, buy, bye, buy, bye America
Repetition of criticism towards consumerism and its effects
Buy, bye, buy, bye, buy, bye America
Continuation of disdain for consumerism and its consequences
Buy, bye, buy, bye, buy, bye America
Reiteration of criticism towards consumerism and its effects
Buy, bye, buy, bye, buy, bye America
Continuing to express dissatisfaction with consumerism
AMERICAN DREAM
Reaffirming the theme of the "American Dream"
They're here to protect and to serve all I see corruption and greed they want your money
Observation of corruption and greed in institutions meant to serve
