Tom MacDonald – American Dreamz lyrics

[Verse 1]
We're making murderers' famous
They kill a bunch of kids and get on all the front pages (on all the front pages)
I don't know none of the victims
I know the guns in the system promote the ones who are dangerous (ones who are dangerous)
It's become entertainment
We got T-shirts and posters covered in murderers' faces
We got movies gettin' made portraying killers as saviors
And parents leavin' kids alone at home with guns in the basement
Would you pull me from a burnin' car
Or run to get your phone so you can film it yellin', "World Star" (World Star)
A gun don't make a soldier with a purple heart
A gun can not protect us if we don't know where are morals are
Students fill the classes and the graves
And you claim it's a conspiracy to take your guns away
All the while the family's torn apart and tryna ask
Why their son deserved to die at his desk in his class

[Chorus]
We don't want a politician makin' money off a bullet holes
They're diggin' our graves, the home of the brave has gone up in flames
Give a fuck about the system, we're not doin' what we're told
The land of the free is armed to the teeth, American Dreamz

[Verse 2]
We're distracted by free porn and compilation videos of puppies and kittens (puppies and kittens)
While our children use the internet to bully one another and then purchase ammunition (ammunition)
So addicted to your phone that you ignore the kids and never give them any supervision
So they learn to build a bomb with things you keep inside your kitchen and you wonder how they ended up with life inside of prison (prison)
We mourned a dead gorilla but don't care when it's a person we're forgettin' that we're human (that we're human)
We're angry that chickens are bein' locked up in cages and then forget we do the same to kids in our institutions
When they ask you about stupid shit, you tell them they should Google it
Then you wonder why the troubled youth are homicidal lunatics
You think it's tragic when a shooter kill a student
But then say it's all a plan for them to change the constitution

[Chorus]
We don't want a politician makin' money off a bullet holes
They're diggin' our graves, the home of the brave has gone up in flames
Give a fuck about the system, we're not doin' what we're told
The land of the free is armed to the teeth, American Dreamz

[Bridge]
Yesterday will be the same shit as tomorrow
If we don't wake up today

[Chorus]
We don't want a politician makin' money off a bullet holes
They're diggin' our graves, the home of the brave has gone up in flames
Give a fuck about the system, we're not doin' what we're told
The land of the free is armed to the teeth, American Dreamz
