This American Dream is not what it seems
Maybe we're still breathin', but we're all asleep

'Cause I wanna live until I die
Don't let the Devil bury me alive
When my heart stops, let me go home
Don't let the suburbs kill my heart and soul (Oh)
My heart and soul (Oh)

Pretty cars and pretty houses, pretty people on parade
If this dream is what you're after, then dreamin's where you'll stay

'Cause I wanna live until I die
Don't let the devil bury me alive
When my heart stops, let me go home
Don't let the suburbs kill my heart and soul, yeah (Oh)
My heart and soul (Oh)

Are we just runnin' in the dark, or livin'?
Are we just runnin' in the dark, or livin'?

'Cause I wanna live until I die
Don't let the devil bury me alive
When my heart stops, let me go home
Don't let the suburbs
Oh, I wanna live until I die
Don't let the devil bury me alive
When my heart stops, let me go home
Don't let the suburbs kill my heart and soul (Oh)
My heart and soul, yeah (Oh)
My heart and soul
