Green Day - the american dream is killing me

노래는 미국의 꿈이 실상 사람들을 죽이고 있다는 비극적인 내용을 담고 있다
복잡한 사회 문제와 개인의 고독, 그리고 나아질 기미 없는 현실을 이야기하며 회의적인 감정을 드러낸다
결국, 미국의 이상이 실체와는 전혀 다른 허상임을 lament한다

The American dream is killing me
When it’s all double talk of conspiracy
The American dream is killing me

Send out an SOS
It’s getting serious
Bulldoze your family home
Now it’s a condo

We are not home
Are we not home
God damn I am so grateful
Forever faithful to

The American dream is killing me

People on the street
Unemployed and obsolete
Did you ever learn to read the ransom note

Don’t want no huddled masses
TikTok and taxes
Under the overpass
Sleeping in broken glass

We are not well
Are we not well
Cracked up into the wild
We’re pedophiles for

The American dream is killing me
When it’s all double talk of insanity
The American dream is killing me

From sea to shining sea
Whitewashed upon the beach
My country under siege
On private property

We are not home
Are we not home
Kiss me I’m dead inside
Who needs suicide

When the American dream is killing me
The American dream is killing me
When it’s all double talk of insanity
The American dream is killing me
