Song Description

Protesting the disintegration of democracy under the current administration, and a call to arms to mobilize opposition.

Lyrics

Land of the free (home of the brave), becoming a kingdom of masters and slaves
Truth in chains (duty's a crime), power bows to the highest dime
Once a light (burning bright) filled us with hope

Killing the dream, American Dream
Goodbye dream, American Dream

The ashes are falling (where liberty stood), once built on hope now soaked in blood
Retribution (wears a badge), punishment for those who ask
Voices silenced (hearts turned stone), law is overthrown

Killing the dream, American Dream
Goodbye dream, American Dream

BRIDGE:

Invaders with suits, they march with a pen,?Writing the rules just to break them again.?The rich build their towers, the poor dig their graves,?And those who speak out become someone to cage.
They trade in silence, they deal in fear,?Control the message so no one hears.?Liberty's lost in the hands of the few,?While the many just struggle to make it through
INSTRUMENTAL
So tell me again (was it ever real?), or just an illusion they taught us to feel??The dream that we cherished (the dream we tried), now just a memory of something that died Justice was promised (but power took hold), now truth is a crime
Killing the dream, American Dream
Goodbye dream, American Dream

BRIDGE

Tell me, brother (tell me, friend), is there a way to start again??Or are we just ghosts (in a land of the lost), paying the price for their power and cost? It's down to us (you and me) save democracy
Killing the dream, American Dream
Goodbye dream, American Dream

Killing the dream, American Dream
So long dream, American Dream

Let's save the dream, American Dream
Take back the dream, American Dream
