Lyrics:

America
keeps dividing
While Russia
keeps on fighting
China
keeps on giving
The gift
that keeps on living

When the Orange man
Came into power
The Minutes
Soon Felt like hours
Then the Old man
Won the election
But the world
Didn’t change direction

When did we get it wrong
In our world
Why can’t we get along
In our world

It’s over
The end of the American dream (American Dream)
It’s over
So long to the American dream (American Dream)

Afghanistan
Papua New Guinea
Perth
Mexico City
People are hurting
All around us
But we scroll on by
Till something resounds with us

We do nothing
Cos that’s what’s expected
We live our lives
With our own agendas
We fatten ourselves
On missed opportunities
We place our faith
In false conspiracies

When did we get it wrong
In our world
When did we grow apart
In our world

It’s over
The end of the American dream (American Dream)
It’s over
So long to the American dream (American Dream)
It’s over
The end of the American dream (American Dream)
It’s over
So long to the American dream (American Dream)
