American Dream Lyrics - Lcd Soundsystem

Wake up with somebody near you 

And at someone else's place 

You took acid and looked in the mirror 

Watched the beard crawl around on your face 

Oh, the revolution was here 

That would set you free from those bourgeoisie 

In the morning everything's clearer 

When the sunlight exposes your age 

But that's okay 

And that's okay 

Grab your clothes and head to the doorway 

If you dance out, no one complains 

Find the place where you can be boring 

Where you won't need to explain 

That you're sick in the head and you wish you were dead 

Or at least instead of sleeping here you prefer your own bed, come on 

You just suck at self-preservation 

Versus someone else's pain

So you feel drained 

And insane 

And insane 

He was leather and you were screaming 

Swinging chains against the stage 

And you couldn't know he was leaving 

But now more will go with age, you know 

So get up and stop your complaining 

You know that you're the only one who's been destroying all the fun 

Look what happened when you were dreaming 

Then punch yourself in the face 

So you kiss and you clutch but you can't fight that feeling 

That your one true love is just awaiting your big meeting 

So you never even asked for names 

You just look right through them as if you already came 

It's a drug of the heart and you can't stop the shaking 

'Cause the body wants what it's terrible at taking, oh 

And you can't remember the meaning 

But there's no going back against this California feeling
