Wake up
America
Your dream is on the floor
Who stole the promise
Written on your doors?
Wake up
America
Does your Statue of Liberty
Still lift that torch for all to see?
Wake up
America
I'm screaming through my TV screen
Where has gone the American dream?

Flashing lights stain the morning sky
Neighbors whisper names
Then hide
Boots on gravel
Doors kicked wide
Wrong face
Wrong place
You're classified

Wake up
America
Your dream is on the floor
Who stole the promise
Written on your doors?
Wake up
America
Does your Statue of Liberty
Still lift that torch for all to see?
Wake up
America
I'm screaming through my TV screen
Where has gone the American dream?

You sold us futures
Glossy
Bright
Gold on every page in sight
Now the shining banner burns too bright
From the guns flash in the dead of night

How loud must the shouting get
Before you hear your own?
If freedom's just a slogan line
Then tear it from your tongue
Or fight to make it real this time
For every single one,
everywhere in this fucking world

I'm screaming from an ocean away
Salt tears on my tongue
Nothing left to say
You sold us dreams of a higher law
Now I just see what those cameras saw

Is this the land that you meant it to be?
Or a mask over misery?
If you can hear me through the static and smoke
Rise up now before the promise is broke

Wake up
America
Your dream is on the floor
I still believe you
Could be so much more
Wake up
America
Let your Statue of Liberty
Mean more than old mythology
Wake up
America
I'm screaming through my TV screen
Where has gone the American dream?
Where has gone the American dream?
Where has gone the American dream?
Where has gone the American dream?
