get home from school   and walk through the door   so stressed from your day   you pass out on the floor   but its not long before youre reminded    why you hate going home living in a prison   where no one leaves you alone      tired of the yelling and being pushed around   being told your worhtless and letting everyone down   no escape from your nightmare   no escape from yourself   no one to turn to   no escape from this hell      american family, american dream   it doesnt exist, things arent what they seem   mommy's a slut and daddy's always drunk   and the bruises on your face never go untouched   american dream      remember your not alone, theres a way out   no room for fear, no time for doubt   dont let them tell you, youll never be any thing    dont believe their lies, because they dont mean a thing
