Get home from school
And walk through the door
So stressed from your day
You pass out on the floor
But it's not long before you're reminded
Why you hate going home living in a prison
Where no one leaves you alone
Tired of the yelling and being pushed around
Being told your worhtless and letting everyone down
No escape from your nightmare
No escape from yourself
No one to turn to
No escape from this hell
American family, american dream
It doesnt't exist, things aren't what they seem
Mommy's a slut and daddy's always drunk
And the bruises on your face never go untouched
American dream
Remember your not alone, there's a way out
No room for fear, no time for doubt
Don't let them tell you, you'll never be any thing
Don't believe their lies, because they don't mean a thing
