Brown, Kane - American Bad Dream Lyrics






Remember when ninth grade was about getting laid
Skipping class tryin' not to get caught
Now you gotta take a test in a bullet proof vest
Scared to death that you might get shot

It's like I just closed my eyes
Everybody started fallin' for the devil's disguise
That hides behind the lies, that hides
The truth and I just can't take it no more

So wake me up
From this American bad dream
Is it this messed up?
Or is it really reality?
I'm becoming numb
To all of this tragedy
Somebody wake me up
From this American bad dream
(This American bad dream)
From this American bad dream
(This American bad dream)

I remember going 10 over the limit would just get you a ticket
Just an inconvenience gettin' stopped
Bad cops played the jury made the good ones worry
About showing up and doing their job

It's like I just closed my eyes
Everybody started fallin' for the devil's disguise
That hides behind the lies, that hides
The truth and I just can't take it no more

So wake me up
From this American bad dream
Is it this messed up?
Or is it really reality?
I'm becoming numb
To all of this tragedy
Somebody wake me up
From this American bad dream
(This American bad dream)
Yeah this American bad dream
From this American bad dream
Ooh

It's like I just closed my eyes
Everybody started fallin' for the devil's disguise
Damn

So wake me up
From this American bad dream
(This American bad dream)
Is it this messed up?
Or is it really reality?
(Is it really reality?)
I'm becoming numb
To all of this tragedy
Somebody wake me up
From this American bad dream
(This American bad dream)
From this American bad dream
(This American bad dream)
Wake me up, wake me up
(This American bad dream)
Wake me up from this American bad dream
(This American bad dream)
From this American bad dream

    I love your music Kane and I know your trying to talk about the what’s going on now, and that on it’s own is fine. But you have to know the way people will react to this and the way liberals will feed off this will affect the country genre. Keep making good music though

    Some snowflakes cant handle the truth, rather remain sheep, bout time someone woke brought some real matters to the table, hats off kane brown, you the man, keep the truth flowing brother

  52. D.... ....

    Was told this song had a dark gothic original country sound to it. I was lied to. You want dark and gothic, listen to the dark country albums by Blues Saraceno, or Johnny Cash, this is just kane bitch boy trying to get his opinion in politics out in thr disguise of a song. Plus he aint even country

  53. K.... ....

    Remember when ninth grade was about gettin' laid
    Skippin' class tryin' not to get caught
    Now you gotta take a test in a bullet proof vest
    Scared to death that you might get shot
    It's like I just closed my eyes
    Everybody started fallin' for the Devil's disguise
    That hides behind the lines
    That hide the truth and I just can't take it no more
    So wake me up from this American bad dream
    Is it this messed up, or is it really reality?
    I'm becomin' numb to all of this tragedy
    Somebody wake me up from this American bad dream (this American bad dream)
    From this American bad dream (this American bad dream)
    I remember doin' 10 over the limit would just get you a ticket
    Just an inconvenience gettin' stopped
    Bad cops played the jury, made the good ones worry
    'Bout showin' up and doin' their job
    It's like I just closed my eyes
    Everybody started fallin' for the Devil's disguise
    That hides behind the lines
    That hide the truth and I just can't take it no more
    So wake me up from this American bad dream
    Is it this messed up, or is it really reality?
    I'm becomin' numb to all of this tragedy
    Somebody wake me up from this American bad dream (this American bad dream)
    Yeah this American bad dream
    From this American bad dream, oh
    It's like I just closed my eyes
    Everybody started fallin' for the Devil's disguise
    Damn
    So wake me up from this American bad dream (this American bad dream)
    Is it this messed up, or is it really reality?
    Yeah, I'm becomin' numb, oh, to all of this tragedy
    Somebody wake me up from this American bad dream (this American bad dream)
    From this American bad dream (this American bad dream)
    Wake me up, wake me up (this American bad dream)
    Wake me up from this American bad dream (this American bad dream)
    From this American bad dream
