I was running down the highway Trying to make a living Nothing but trouble coming my way And I have nothing left for giving The radio is playing all the same old songs And the newsman tells us things we knew all along I was standing on the outside Countless miles from the promised land Where everybody's standing wide-eyed But no one tries to understand Oh tell me the truth, baby I wanna know Tell me where we're going, baby I wanna know Tell me where to find you, I wanna know All right (All right) All right (All right) Hey! Living the American Dream Living the American Dream Living the American Dream Oh! We're running from the devil Oh! He's snapping at our bootheels Oh! And I blame it on the dollar It keeps us moving (Keeps us moving) I was a stranger to the underground Feel like a face without a name And by now I guess I've been around But I can't help but feel the same I wake up to the symphony Of a never ending daily grind
And I try not to let it get to me But the more I try the more I fall behind Living the American Dream Living the American Dream Living the American Dream Oh! We're running from the devil Oh! He's snapping at our bootheels Oh! And I blame it on the dollar It keeps us moving (Keeps us moving) I was running down the highway Trying to make a living Nothing but trouble coming my way And I have nothing left for giving The radio is playing all the same old songs And the newsman tells us things we knew all along Living the American Dream Living the American Dream Living the American Dream Oh! We're running from the devil Oh! He's snapping at our bootheels Oh! And I blame it on the dollar It keeps us moving (Keeps us moving) It keeps us moving (Keeps us moving) It keeps us moving (Keeps us moving) It keeps us moving (Keeps us moving) It keeps us, it keeps us, it keeps us moving
