American Dream Lyrics

Sky Ferreira American Dream

I'm learning lessons to make mistakes,
If I get burned no embers break.
You told me I'm my destiny,
While your power gets the best of me.
Repeatedly I get neglected,
You claim I am un-perfected.
Now watch my frustration grow,
And wonder why this girl let go.

Do what you want, make me into your American Dream.
Say what you want, just another part of your mad machine.
Make what you want, who can I blame?
You're all the same.
Isn't jealous sweet, sleeping with the enemy?

I tried fifty states of miserable.
I walk on through, though intolerable.
Emotions blank, no landscapes changed.


I'm at the between a rock and a place.
I might be alright, I could be okay.
I don't think I would try to throw it away.

Do what you want, make me into your American Dream.
Say what you want, just another part of your mad machine.
Make what you want, who can I blame?
You're all the same.
Isn't jealous sweet, sleeping with the enemy?

If you prescribed anything, numb reality and bring back to me those melodies,
That you always take from me.

Do what you want, make me into your American Dream.
Say what you want, just another part of your mad machine.
Make what you want, who can I blame?
You're all the same.
Isn't jealous sweet, sleeping with the enemy?
