I'm all American
Call me insane, so f*ckin American
I'm losing faith I'm all American
Breathin' in the air
It's the color of smoke
And I forget to chew
So often I choke
I'm givin' up on my American dream
It's an American joke
Kids are pullin' punches in the parking lot
Can't fault them for their insolence
But I think I ought to
Why they started fighting?
They already forgot
Oh
And if you gave me the chance to
Explain my thoughts
I think you'd find
That I cannot stop
Running
(I can't complain, I'm all American)
At breakneck speed and
Seeing
(Call me insane, so f*cking American)
All that I can see and
Needing
(I'm losing faith, I'm all American)
My American, American dream
Time is
(I can't complain, I'm all American)
Flyin' faster than
I thought
(Call me insane, so f*cking American)
It could go
I'm runnin' out of steam
(I'm losing faith, I'm all American)
All I need is my American dream
Oh
And have you heard the news?
Man it's scared me to death
It's been like half a million years
And now there's seven left
We've had a good run
Now it's on to the next one
And I think I could scream until my lungs gave out
What difference would it make
I'm just a head in a crowd
It's gotta change, it's gotta change now
There's gotta be some, gotta be somehow
And if you gave me the chance to
Explain my thoughts
I think you'd find
That I cannot stop
Running
(I can't complain, I'm all American)
At breakneck speed and
Seeing
(Call me insane, so f*cking American)
All that I can see and
Needing
(I'm losing faith, I'm all American)
My American, American dream
Time is
(I can't complain, I'm all American)
Flyin' faster than
I thought
(Call me insane, so f*cking American)
It could go
I'm runnin' out of steam
(I'm losing faith, I'm all American)
All I need is my American dream
Time is runnin', time is runnin' out
If I can dream it well then, I've gotta do it now
(I'm so American)
Time is runnin', time is runnin' out
If I can dream it well then, I've gotta do it now
(I'm all American)
Time is runnin', time is runnin' out
If I can dream it well then, I've gotta do it now
(I'm so American)
Time is runnin', time is runnin' out
If I can dream it well then, I've gotta do it
(Running)
I can't complain, I'm all American
(At breakneck speed and seeing)
Call me insane, so f*cking American
(All that I can see and needing)
I'm losing faith, I'm all American
(My American, American dream)
Time is
(I can't complain, I'm all American)
Flyin' faster than
I thought
(Call me insane, so f*cking American)
It could go
I'm runnin' out of steam,
(I'm losing faith, I'm all American)
All I need is my American dream
I can't complain, I'm all American
