If this is how you want me,
I'm the fucking American dream,
You know that you want me,
I'm the fucking American dream!
To be American, is to kill for fun,
You think that you are bulletproof,
You better get your fucking gun,
You think you're tough...
Throw-down!
Bring your fists of fury,
Don't you keep me waiting!
Throw-down!
You better come in a hurry,
Because I am not waiting!
If this is how you want me,
I'm the fucking American dream,
You know that you want me,
I'm the fucking American dream!
You want me dead,
Give me a gun shot to the head,
Stab me a hundred times,
Carve my face with a dime.
Leave me in a fucking shallow grave,
Where I will never be saved,
You did already once before,
You broke my heart to the core...
Throw-down!
Bring your fists of fury,
Don't you keep me waiting!
Throw-down!
You better come in a hurry,
Because I am not waiting!
If this is how you want me,
I'm the fucking American dream,
You know that you want me,
I'm the fucking American dream!
Dead or alive,
Dead or alive,
Dead or alive,
Dead or fucking dead!
If this is how you want me,
I'm the fucking American dream,
You know that you want me,
I'm the fucking American dream!
Leaves are falling from the trees,
Knocked away by the coming breeze,
They're like ashes that fall upon me,
Reminding me of what's never to be.
I can't control the coming storm,
I've known this since the day I was born,
I try none the less to fight,
Even though my chances are diminishing tonight.
I shoulder the world onto my shoulders,
I've become one of the worlds new w Ptonders,
Look at me and see what you wish to see,
Look over my petty failures and disease.
Mock me if you care to show me kindness,
At least I'll know you were never mindless,
Walk past me in silence to be cruel,
Remind me to you I'm just a pack mule.
If I stumble whip my flesh from myself,
Again you are kind to please yourself,
I'll carry your world for awhile longer,
Until I collapse from thirst and hunger.
Eternity seems longer than forever,
Especially when you know you'll never,
See the faces of loved ones past,
Who were nailed to a wooden mast.
Their screams still fill your ears,
Drive you to almost shedding tears,
Hide them, turn them into fire,
For one day soon you will conspire.
These kings you serve will meet their end,
Crushed by your feet and unable to defend,
Time and patience have had their fill,
The time is now, the time is now to kill.

I am lying here awake,
Don't know if I can take,
Another hit, another shot,
I've given all that I've got.
The straw that broke my back,
Is the one that I didn't want back,
Holding onto a dying dream,
And no one listens as I scream.
It's over and done,
Nobodies won,
We are all in defeat.
We are all in defeat.
It's over my son,
Lay down your guns,
We are all in defeat.
We are all in defeat.
I can see my friends,
Meeting their timely ends,
I can't help, I can not save,
All I can do is pave the way.
But all I see,
Are pieces of me,
Holding onto a dying dream,
And no one listens as I scream.
It's over and done,
Nobodies won,
We are all in defeat.
We are all in defeat.
It's over my son,
Lay down your guns,
We are all in defeat.
We are all in defeat.
I guess we have no hope,
Coming home we can not cope,
So we hang ourselves from a rope,
We don't got anymore hope.
We were all trying to say,
That we'll try to be okay,
But not anymore today,
We forever went away!
It's over and done,
Nobodies won,
We are all in defeat.
We are all in defeat.
It's over my son,
Lay down your guns,
We are all in defeat.
We are all in defeat.
