'American Dream' remix by The Devil In The Belfry

‘The song is anti everything Trump stands for,’ Dolly explains: ‘The misogyny, narcissism, racism and right-wing idiot politics that are out dated and tiresome. We can’t just stay ‘in our lane’ and stand by anymore. Politics and music go hand in hand and this is our way of fighting everything the current POTUS represents.’

lyrics

La la la la la la la la la la la x2
Except you’re not
You’re such a liar (liar, liar)
Except you’re not
You’re just a liar (liar, liar)

Hey white privilege
You’re so weak
So angry you’re threatened by minorities
Your skin’s so thin
Yeah you’re full of fear
You thrive on hate
And racists fund your little career
Hands up skirt her body’s yours to take
But if you knock her up it’s only her you blame
Self-made man daddy gave you a million
IQ so low it’s sad that you had children

Put babies in cages
You laugh as you watch their starvation
Back to the dark ages
Evil giving you a standing ovation

You think you’re the American dream
Personified
Except you’re not (no, no)
You’re such a liar (liar, liar)
American dream
Personified
Except you’re not (no, no)
You’re just a liar (liar, liar)

La la la la la la la la la la la x2

Hey Mr President
You’re just a joke
Kids dodging bullets
World’s up in smoke
Guns in school
You shrug your shoulders
Hey you’re making money
Don’t care if they grow up

Put babies in cages
You laugh as you watch their starvation
Back to the dark ages
Evil giving you a standing ovation

You think you’re the American dream
Personified
Except you’re not (no, no)
You’re such a liar (liar, liar)
American dream
Personified
Except you’re not (no, no)
You’re just a liar (liar, liar)

La la la la la la la la la la la x4

His brain’s off the tracks
He dreams of celebrity
He keeps his daddy’s gun in his school backpack
Bullets forecast today
They pour like rain
Kids run for cover and congress they just turn their backs

Put babies in cages
You put babies in cages

You think you’re the American dream
You think you’re the American dream
Liar x6
You think you’re the American dream
Personified
Except you’re not (no, no)
You’re such a liar (liar, liar)
The American dream
Personified
Except you’re not (no, no)
You’re just a liar (liar, liar)
We know you’re not
You’re just a liar (liar, liar)
We know you’re not
You’re just a liar (liar, liar)
