The American Dream is killin' me
The American Dream is killin' me
When it's all double-talk of conspiracy
The American dream is killin' me
Send out an S.O.S.
It's getting serious
Bulldoze your family home
Now it's a condo
We are not home
Are we not home?
Goddamn, I am so grateful
Forever faithful to
The American Dream is killin' me
The American Dream is killin' me
People on the street
Unemployed and obsolete
Did you ever learn to read the ransom note?
Don't want no huddled masses
TikTok and taxes
Under the overpass
Sleepin' in broken glass
We are not well
Are we not well?
Cracked up into the wild
We're pedophiles for
The American Dream is killin' me
The American Dream is killin' me
When it's all double-talk of insanity
The American Dream is killin' me
Say!
Woah, oh, oh oh-oh
Woah, oh, oh oh-oh
Woah, oh, oh oh-oh
From sea to shinin' sea
Whitewashed upon the beach
My country under siege
On private property
We are not home
Are we not home?
Kiss me, I'm dead inside
Who needs suicide
When the American Dream is killing me
The American Dream is killing me
When it's all double-talk of insanity
The American Dream is killing me
The American Dream is killin' me
When it's all double-talk of conspiracy
The American dream is killin' me
Send out an S.O.S.
It's getting serious
Bulldoze your family home
Now it's a condo
We are not home
Are we not home?
Goddamn, I am so grateful
Forever faithful to
The American Dream is killin' me
The American Dream is killin' me
People on the street

Cracked up into the wild

The American Dream is killin' me
The American Dream is killin' me

The American Dream is Killing Me
2024
Saviors
Il nuovo album dei Green Day ha un titolo e una data di pubblicazione. Saviors uscirà il 19 gennaio 2024. È prodotto da Rob Cavallo e uscirà nell’anno in cui un altro classico della band sui cui il produttore ha messo le mani, ovvero Dookie, compirà trent’anni.
Il primo singolo estratto dal disco, già suonato nei giorni scorsi dal vivo in un club di Las Vegas, è The American Dream Is Killing Me. È accompagnato da un video (vedi sotto) girato a Los Angeles da Brendan Walter e Ryan Baxley.
È una delle ultime canzoni incise per l’album. «Appena l’abbiamo registrata» ha detto Billie Joe Armstrong «ci siamo detti: ok, questa deve essere la prima». Per il cantante, il pezzo parla del fatto che «il classico sogno americano non funziona per un sacco di gente. Anzi, sta facendo loro del male».
