lyrics

He told me he couldn't call this in
It was just a little ding
He got down and he begged for me
To pay in cash and forget the whole thing

On your knees for the American dream
On your knees for the American dream
On your knees for the American dream
On your knees

She walked into that dusty old dive
Pushed herself onto the stage
She breathed in all the love and hate
Cause she wasn't what they all liked

On your knees for the American dream
On your knees for the American dream
On your knees for the American dream
On your knees

He was just down the corner street
When he stopped in for a fix
He swore this was the last damn time
But we never saw him again

On your knees for the American dream
On your knees for the American dream
On your knees for the American dream
On your knees

She broke the record for caring so much
Lived her life for you and I
She put the poison in her veins
To see the world one more night

On your knees for the American Dream
On your knees for the American Dream
On your knees for the American Dream
On your knees

Our music aims to capture this concept and all of the ordinary, but beautiful things experienced in day-to-day life. ... more
