American Dream - Jimmy Cliff[00:00:00]

Oh yeah the American dream [00:00:01]

American dream[00:00:05]

The American dream[00:00:07]

So you want to get American visa[00:00:09]

To go where they say the living is easier[00:00:14]

Since you were young you been told[00:00:18]

You can get anything there[00:00:21]

But the soul[00:00:23]

Freedom and prosperity for all[00:00:28]

Equal opportunity stalk all[00:00:32]

But words without deeds[00:00:37]

Is like a gold wind full of breeze[00:00:39]

So you better take heed[00:00:42]

So you better beware[00:00:46]

And you better take care[00:00:49]

Cause you just might be there for a nightmare[00:00:51]

Oh yeah the American dream[00:00:57]

American dream[00:01:01]

The American dream[00:01:03]

Oh yeah the American dream[00:01:06]

The American dream[00:01:10]

Is not what it seems[00:01:12]

And so it's better to seek a home[00:01:19]

In Mount Zion I than in Rome[00:01:24]

Cause when your lake be get dry[00:01:28]

A lot of people go comply[00:01:31]

Some might even die[00:01:33]

And so is Africa for Africans[00:01:37]

India for Indians[00:01:43]

China for the Chinese ones[00:01:48]

Europe for the Europeans[00:01:50]

And now you understand[00:01:56]

I hope you find your Land[00:01:59]

Because a dream is not reality[00:02:01]

Oh yeah the American dream[00:02:07]

American dream[00:02:11]

The American dream[00:02:13]

Oh yeah the American dream[00:02:16]

The American dream[00:02:20]

Is not what it seems[00:02:22]

Yeah[00:02:43]

For some it means the power and the glory[00:02:43]

And still for some a super vision story[00:02:48]

Still for some an illusion filled with confusion[00:02:52]

And illusion notions[00:02:57]

I know for some it means a man's ambition[00:03:02]

Or the memory of organisation[00:03:06]

For when the big operations[00:03:11]

Take you in litigation you need protection[00:03:13]

From most High Jah Rastafari[00:03:18]

So you better beware[00:03:21]

And you better take care[00:03:23]

Cause you just might be there for a nightmare[00:03:25]

Oh yeah the American dream[00:03:31]

American dream[00:03:35]

The American dream[00:03:37]

Oh yeah the American dream[00:03:40]

The American dream[00:03:44]

The American dream[00:03:46]

Oh yeah[00:03:50]

Why do you slumber[00:03:51]

From January to December[00:03:55]

Dream will only last while you sleep[00:03:59]

Yeah don't looking' for it there[00:04:03]

-End-[00:04:12]
