He sees his life just pass by   Just another number in a suit and tie   No purpose here nothing to give   Is this what it means to really live?   His feet never touch the ground   His days fly by, he can't slow down      (CHORUS)   Casualties of the American dream   Have we lost our vision   Drifting off and living   Half asleep with a faint heartbeat   Just dying to be revived   I want to be revived      She's screaming out,"I've lost control"   Caught in another undertow   She's only barely hanging on   Been holding her breath for so long   Her feet never touch the ground   She's not sure which way is up or down      (CHORUS)   Casualties of the American dream   Have we lost our vision   Drifting off and living   Half asleep with a faint heartbeat   Just dying to be revived      I want to be revived   I want to feel alive   And in a world so numb   Don't let me become another   Casualty living in a dream      (CHORUS)   Casualties of the American dream   Have we lost our vision   Drifting off and living   Half asleep with a faint heartbeat   Just dying to be revived   I want to be revived      I want to be revived
