He sees his life just passing 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 wanna 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’s up or down
[Chorus]
I wanna feel alive
And in a world so wrong
Don’t let me become another
Casualty living I’m this dream, yeah
Casualties of the American dream
We’re dying to be revived
I wanna be revived
I wanna feel alive
