VERSE]

STANDING ON THE ISLAND OF LIBERTY

THERE ALONE SHE TOWERS OVER THE SEA

PASSING EYES AND CITY LIGHTS SURROUND HER HEART

ALL SEEKING THE MYSTIQUE THAT HOLDS THE KEY

TO THE LAND OF THE FREE



[CHORUS]

IN PURSUIT OF THE AMERICAN DREAM

WITH CREDIT CARDS AND SOME CABLE TV

YOU CAN EVEN END UP OUT ON THE STREET

WIN OR LOSE IT ALL

LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM



[VERSE]

FARMERS TELL THEIR STORY LIKE THE INDIAN

IN HIS OWN FORGOTTEN LAND

ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY PEOPLE ARE JOINING HANDS

WHILE THE GOVERNMENT IS SELLING OFF OUR DIGNITY

DOING ALL THIS BUSINESS OVERSEAS



[CHORUS]

IN PURSUIT OF THE AMERICAN DREAM

WITH CREDIT CARDS AND SOME CABLE TV

YOU CAN EVEN END UP OUT ON THE STREET

WIN OR LOSE IT ALL

LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM



[BRIDGE]

IT TAKES FORTITUDE JUST TO SEE IT THROUGH

BUT IT'S THE PRICE YOU PAY WHEN YOU RALLY TO

THE GLORY OF THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE



[VERSE]

CALLING ALL THE HEROES WHO KNOW THE SCORE

WE SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF OUR OWN

UNCLE SAM, HE'LL PUT YOU IN THE WELFARE LINE

AND PAY A THOUSAND DOLLARS JUST TO BUY A HAMMER OR TWO

WE THE PEOPLE - WHERE ARE YOU?
