A celebration of his youth
stares down the barrel of the old man's truth
Defenses weak, nostalgia creeps
Psyhoanalyst psychedelic terrorists weep
On computer screens
in our damaged dreams
superficial revolutionaries
The blinders fall
from the eyes of all
and we start again
from the beginning
He takes the drugs, self-denial hugs
away from the sway of reality tugs
Creeping wonders love to kiss
the alcohol dreams of our picket fences
The American's dream
on computer screens
in our damaged dreams
superficial revolutionaries
(The American Dream)
The blinders fall
from the eyes
(The American's dream...)
and we start again
(...of a Dream machine)
from the beginning
Let's start again
Let's start again
