Two Steps Behind Songtext
von Madcap

One life to live is all we really get
And we think we live but all of us are dying
A little more each day
It′s six o'clock, time to get up and get ready for work
′Cause you can't be late or else you won't get paid
And everybody wants to make a little more
Than all their friends living next door
Security in exchange for emptiness
It′s the price in the USA

Two steps behind of the American dream
Two steps behind and then some more, whoa-oh
Two steps behind is where you′ll find my boys and me

But this all-American dream is more like an army to me

And all I want to do is wake up


How much money will it take
How many hours a day
Will keep you from the grave
From Mr. King
Are you gonna freeze yourself
Like Mr. Disney did
To keep your dream alive
So you don't have to die

Well, everybody wants to live a little more
Than all their friends living next door
Security in exchange for emptiness
It′s the price in the USA

Two steps behind of the American dream
Two steps behind and then some more, whoa-oh
Two steps behind is where you'll find my boys and me
But this all-American dream is more like an army to me

And all I want to do is wake up

Wake up
Wake up
Wake up

Two steps behind of the American dream
Two steps behind and then some more
Two steps behind is where you′ll find my boys and me
But this all-American dream is more like an army to me


This all-American dream is more like an army to me
This all-American dream is more like an army to me
This all-American dream is more like an army to me
And all I want to do is wake up
