Where did it go? Somehow it got lost
And we've got to find it, we've got to keep looking whatever the cost
Now there have been rumors and I've heard it's so
That it was last sighted somewhere between New York and San Francisco

The American Dream part of the scheme. It used to glisten and gleam. Now it's losing it's sheen
The American Dream they say that everything's fine
But if you want a piece you better take your number and get in line

Now I spent my weekend in front of the tube
Five thousand channels, remote control, getting into the groove
In between talk shows violence and sex
They were selling the Country and wondering what to sell next

Sell the American Dream part of the scheme. They've got the ways and the means. They're a selling machine
The American Dream the best that money can buy
But the cost keeps on rising so you better grab hold before the price is to high

Now there's been a rumbling throughout the land
It won't be detected before it's elected to make a stand
But I've got this feeling that something ain't right
Just read the headlines it's there all the time in stark black and white

The American Dream part of the scheme. It's got a look lean and mean. Ya care to join the team?
The American Dream out of control. Going down for the last time throw it a lifeline and get ready to pull
The American Dream you know we can't lose sight. We've got to huddle together hold on to each other with all of our might
