Two Steps Behind Lyrics - Madcap

One life to live is what we really get 

And we think we live, but all of us are dying 

A little more each day 

It's six o'clock time to get up 

And get ready for work 'cause we can't be late 

Or else we won't get paid 

And everybody wants to make a little more 

Than all the friends living next door 

Security in exchange for emptiness 

Is the price in the USA 

Two steps behind of the American dream 

Two steps behind and then some more 

Two steps behind is where you'll find my boys and me 

This All-American dream's more like a nightmare to me 

And I wanna do is wake up 

How much money will it take 

How many hours a day 

Will keep you from the grave? 

Mr. Gates, are you gonna freeze yourself 

Like Mr. Disney did? 

To keep your dream alive 

So you won't have to die 

Well, everybody wants to live a little more 

Than all the friends living next door 

Security in exchange for emptiness 

Is the price in the USA 

Two steps behind of the American dream 

Two steps behind and then some more 

Two steps behind is where you'll find my boys and me 

This All-American dream's more like a nightmare to me 

And I wanna do is wake up 

Wake up! 

Wake up! 

Wake up! 

Two steps behind of the American dream 

Two steps behind and then some more 

Two steps behind is where you'll find my boys and me 

This All-American dream's more like a nightmare to me 

This All-American dream's more like a nightmare to me 

This All-American dream's more like a nightmare to me 

This All-American dream's more like a nightmare to me 

And I wanna do is wake up
