about

This is one of the only two songs on the album with overdubs, everything else was recorded live. The scream at the end was recorded separately from the rest of the track.

lyrics

The food in our baskets in bright shiny caskets
was dead on the shelves of the store
Feeding on oil, a fight and a toil
mosquitoes and parasite whores
Appetite growing we feast without knowing
the cost of the food that we wear
food that we wear, food that we wear
Food we should share, food we should share,
food we should share
American dream, American dream,
American dreamer, American dream
Dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream
dream dream dream dream dream
American cream, American cream,
American creamer, American cream
Cream cream cream cream cream cream cream cream
cream cream cream cream cream
American sream, American scream,
American screamer, American scream
Scream scream scream scream scream scream scream scream
scream scream scream scream scream
