(Living in the lie)
(Living in the lie)
(Living in the lie)
(Of the American dream)

I was crying in the rain
Tears run down with rain drops
How can I find my way?
On a one-way street

You were surpassing the world
Now you’re getting older
There are leaves in the street
Every fallen dream

(Living in the lie)
(Living in the lie)
(Living in the lie)
(Of the American dream)

(Living in the lie)
(Living in the lie)
(Living in the lie)
(Of the American dream)

America America
Living in a lie
Of America America
Of America America
Ahhhhh…

You know I don't have much patience anymore
For my star-spangled dreams to come along
It's been real, can I stay? I'm still here, one more day

You know how to cash in a dreamer's love
Yet when I'm here with you I feel at home, at home

Listen to the brave that call you home
Listen to the brave that call you home
Listen to the brave that call you home
Listen to the brave that call you home, sweet home
