Well I'd like to tell you all about my dream, it's a place
Where strip malls abound and diversion's mere moments away

Where culture's defined by the
Ones least refined
And you'll be left behind
If you don't fit in
It's all distorted
In americana my way

[Répétition] :
Well my dream has come true
My vision has come true

Now give me my cable, fast food, four-by's, tat's right away
I want it right now cause my generation don't like to wait

My future's determined by
Thieves, thugs, and vermin
It's quite an excursion
But it's okay
Everything's backwards
In americana my way

[Répétition]

I'm a product
Of my environment
So don't blame me, I just work here

My rights are denied by
Those least qualified
Trading profit for pride 
But it's okay
Everything's backwards
In americana my way

My nightmare has come true x2
Yeah, it's all coming true.

He's saying
I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know
His baby's momma
She ain't so slow
He's saying
I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know
I know you wanna hit that
I know you wanna hit that hit that
All the world is gettin' with, I say
Consequences are a lot, but hey
That's the way it
That's the way things go

What was a family
Is now a shell
We're raising kids now
Who raise themselves
Sex is a weapon 
It's like a drug 
It gets him right into that grave that he just dug

She's saying
I'm on the run
I'm chasing guys for fun
Her baby's daddy
It ain't his only one
She's saying
I'm on the run
I'm chasing guys for fun
I know you wanna hit that
I know you wanna hit that hit that
Everybody's gettin' with, I say
Consequences are a lot, but hey
That's the way it
That's the way things go

Well it winds up
Broken up
Really such a shame
But why not
Take a chance
Everything's a game
And it don't stop
Hooking up
Nothing's gonna change
The more he's trying
The more he's buying

He says
I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know
His baby's momma
Don't need to know
He's saying
I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know
I know you wanna hit that
I know you wanna hit that hit that
All the world is gettin' with, I say
Consequences are a lot, but hey
That's the way it
That's the way things go 

Répétition 1] :
Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way
Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down, but I won't let them

[Refrain] :
If I seem bleak
Well you'd be correct
And if I don't speak
It's cause I can't disconnect
But I won't be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun x5

[Répétition 2] :
When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway
When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away
There's more to living than only surviving
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying

[Répétition 3] :
Though you hear me
I don't think that you relate
My will is something
That you can't confiscate
So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun x2

[Répétition 2]
[Répétition 3]
As you're staring at the sun x3
[Répétition 1]
[Refrain]
