lyrics

Welcome to the New American Dream, get rich without doing anything!

Don’t you wanna be a doctor or a lawyer
You should really go back to school
Don’t you wanna drive a fast car
own a front yard and follow all the rules

But don't want to get a real job
And have to work hard, let me just be lazy
I bet I could make a great app, after a short nap
or how about plan "B"

Get on TV
Drink myself blind
Recovery
Then be admired

Curse my fate
My daddy wasn't a hotel magnate
And nobody wants to see me
Acting bratty, on reality TV

and say a prayer for the righteous
gotta be hard to be right all the time
About any and everything
Infallibility must me such a grind

Why can't you see
what's on my mind
it seems to be
all I can find

So welcome to the new american dream
get rich without doing anything
we don’t wanna have to work hard
or get a real job
let me just be lazy
I’m living the new american dream

We all wanna be a rock star
Live it up while looking down from high on stage
All the glory and the regard
And your picture on every cover page
I can't stand it
I don't want it
I got caught up inside a fantasy
Never thought this would be so hard
who said this shit would be easy

it shouldn’t be
too much to ask
to spend all day
right on my ass

So welcome to the new american dream
get rich without doing anything
we don’t wanna have to work hard
or get a real job
let me just be lazy
I’m living the new american dream

about

The Won't Los Angeles, California

The 4 members have been passionately crafting music for 2 decades. The quartet takes all of their experiences and influences, creating a familiar punk rock sound, matured with age. You’ll hear a tight rhythm section with grungy tones featuring a polished lead vocal, often layered with cascading backing vocals from all members of the group. Reminiscent of Bad Religion and rocking out like Nirvana. ... more
