Sonora.ID – Berikut ini adalah lirik lagu ‘The American Dream is Killing Me’ oleh grup band Green Day yang baru dirilis pada 24 Oktober 2023.

Melansir Genius, “The American Dream is Killing Me” adalah lagu rock yang kuat yang menunjukkan ketidaksukaan Green Day terhadap cara hidup orang Amerika.

Hal ini memberikan gambaran halus mengenai krisis perumahan, pengangguran, dan media sosial, serta lanskap politik bermasalah yang dialami Amerika Serikat pada tahun 2020-an.

Lagu ini, yang merupakan single utama dari album ke- 14 Green Day, Saviors, teasernya telah muncul beberapa bulan sebelumnya oleh band dan diputar secara keseluruhan dalam konser pop-up di Las Vegas tepat sebelum When We Were Young Festival.

Lirik:

[Chorus]

The American Dream is killin' me

The American Dream is killin' me

When it's all double-talk of conspiracy

The American dream is killin' me

[Verse 1]

Send out an S.O.S. ​

It's getting serious

Bulldoze your family home

Now it's a condo

[Pre-Chorus]

We are not home

Are we not home?

Goddamn, I am so grateful

Forever faithful to

[Chorus]

The American Dream is killin' me

The American Dream is killin' me

[Bridge]

People on the street

Unemployed and obsolete

Did you ever learn to read the ransom note?

[Verse 2]

Don't want no huddled masses

TikTok and taxes

Under the overpass

Sleepin' in broken glass

[Pre-Chorus]

We are not well

Are we not well?

Cracked up into the wild

We're pedophiles for

[Chorus]

The American Dream is killin' me

The American Dream is killin' me

When it's all double-talk of insanity

The American Dream is killin' me

Say!

[Interlude]

Woah, oh, oh oh-oh

Woah, oh, oh oh-oh

Woah, oh, oh oh-oh

[Verse 3]

From sea to shinin' sea

Whitewashed upon the beach

My country under siege

On private property

[Pre-Chorus]

We are not home

Are we not home?

Kiss me, I'm dead inside

Who needs suicide when

[Chorus]

The American Dream is killin' me

The American Dream is killin' me

When it's all double-talk of insanity

The American Dream is killin' me
