lyrics

When we were young we were promised the world
but somehow it has left us behind
we're all alone trying to fend for ourselves
we sell our souls just to get by
we overdose on bottles and pills
just to cope with everyday life
it's the way to the american dream
but that dream has finally died

Oh, we never wanted to feel like this
we were striving for happiness
but we've been broke down, broke down
oh, we only wanted to feel alive
just once before we die
but we've been broke down, broke down

Our bodies ache and we're breaking our bones
as we work all night and all day
we can't afford to follow our hearts
cause' it's more than minimum wage
prepare these bodies to be put in the ground
maybe there we'll find peace in our graves
I'm almost sure that I've got no soul
there's nothing left in me to be saved

Oh, we never wanted to feel like this
we were striving for happiness
but we've been broke down, broke down
oh, we only wanted to feel alive
just once before we die
but we've been broke down, broke down
