The Dream They Sold

[Verse 1]

In the shadow of the factories, where the steel used to rise,
Dreams were forged in the fire, under wide open skies.
But the hands that built this glory, now they tremble and shake,
While the heart of a nation, feels the ground start to break.

[Chorus]

The American Dream, it was ours to hold,
But they traded it away, left us out in the cold.
With promises fading, like smoke in the night,
The dream they once sold, now just out of sight.

[Verse 2]

Politicians in their towers, counting debt like it’s gold,
Turning our hopes to ashes, yet the truth goes untold.
Each corner, a story, where the lost wander through,
What happened to the promise, we once believed was true?

[Chorus]

The American Dream, it was ours to hold,
But they traded it away, left us out in the cold.
With promises fading, like smoke in the night,
The dream they once sold, now just out of sight.

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

We’ll rise up from the ashes, ignite the flames of our fight,
Stand tall in the struggle, for the future shines bright.
With voices unbroken, united we’ll stand,
Reclaiming our glory, for this is our land.

[Outro]

So remember this tale of what once stood so proud,
In the heart of America, we will speak loud.
The dream is lost, it’s just given to the wrong people,
Together we’ll fight, we won’t back down.
