lyrics

It's a great big world
It's a long way down from the heights of where we see
Don't hold back
But don't let go of all your American dreams
I can see for miles and miles
Across this wide open land
Let's make run for the highest of heights
And don't let go of my hand

under the weight of the world and all of these lies that they tell
Find you job and buy you house a little peice of suburban hell
Suit with a coat, pay your car note, white picket fence and a lawn
Compromise yeah say your goodbyes cause all of your dreams are long gone

I know that one day we will see
All of these people we used to be
All the lies and schemes as bad as it seems
Is never as good as the American dreams
