October Lyrics - Good Riddance

i woke up screaming 

just the other night 

awakened by another dream 

i thought back to '80 

thinking what would've happened 

if everything wasn't how it seemed 

ten years the lie survives 

fucking with american lives 

reduced to pawns in a power play 

too long they've suffered 

not for america 

just for a lead on election day 

my october my america 

running out of time 

my october my america 

read between the lines
