Remember when ninth grade was about gettin' laid Skippin' class tryin' not to get caught? Now you gotta take a test in a bullet proof vest Scared to death that you might get shot It's like I just closed my eyes Everybody started fallin' for the Devil's disguise That hides behind the lines That hide the truth and I just can't take it no more So wake me up from this American bad dream Is it this messed up, or is it really reality? I'm becomin' numb to all of this tragedy Somebody wake me up from this American bad dream From this American bad dream I remember goin' 10 over the limit would just get you a ticket Just an inconvenience gettin' stopped Bad cops played the jury, made the good ones worry About showin' up and doin' their job It's like I just closed my eyes Everybody started fallin' for the Devil's disguise That hides behind the lines That hide the truth now I just can't take it no more So wake me up from this American bad dream Is it this messed up, or is it really reality? I'm becomin' numb to all of this tragedy Somebody wake me up from this American bad dream Yeah this American bad dream From this American bad dream, oh It's like I just closed my eyes Everybody started fallin' for the Devil's disguise Damn So wake me up from this American bad dream Is it this messed up, or is it really reality? I'm becomin' numb to all of this tragedy Somebody wake me up from this American bad dream From this American bad dream Wake me up, wake me up Wake me up from this American bad dream From this American bad dream
