lyrics

The American Dream is sold out tonight
No tickets for us, babe, let's go outside
And stare at the blood moon, it's shining for free
Showing black bats in tutus, I think that we will be alright

The American Dream is sold out tonight
No tickets for us, babe, let's go outside
And feel the cold wind, it's blowing the smell
Of a forgotten place that we used to know so well

In my Versace wallet
That I found in the trash
I got $5 scratchers
And a little ball of hash
I got 127 likes
And a new app on my phone A bottle of hope
Babe, we're not alone

The American Dream is sold out tonight
No tickets for us, babe, let's go outside
And hear the rain beating that good old refrain
Zip up your skull babe before they come and wash your brain
