The American Nightmare

[Intro/Sample]
Getting ready for bed at a regular time is one of the most important habits you can learn. David has probably never stopped to think what a wonderful thing sleep is. Dreams are normal too. Going to bed at a regular time each night makes it easier to go right off to sleep

[Verse 1]
Rest your head, here's a lullaby
A melody for heavy eyes
Early to bed, early to die
Welcome to your worst nightmare

[Breakdown]

[Verse 2]
Get to sleep it's all in your head now
Past the street where they cursed my name
But I won't be forsaken
Granted my revenge from the shallow
Grave where I went down in flames
The beast has been awakened

[Pre-Chorus]
Night comes creeping
I'll kill them and rock you to sleep

[Chorus]
I'm the American nightmare
With American dreams
Of counting the bodies while you count sheep
I'm the American nightmare
Yeah, I'm living the dream
I'm slashing my way through the golden age of the silver screen
Sweet dreams

[Verse 3]
Fell in love with hate cause evil fit like a glove,
It's fate that I'm still here
And I won't be forsaken
Wicked when I was just a man but,
Sickening now and fed by fear
The beast has been awakened
No! They all think it's just pretend
You'll never ever sleep again
Now you face your fucking death (Tell your friends you're fucking dead?)
You can't turn down your own deathbed

[Pre-Chorus]
Night comes creeping
I'll kill them and rock you to sleep

[Chorus]
I'm the American nightmare
With American dreams
Of counting the bodies while you count sheep
I'm the American nightmare
Yeah, I'm living the dream
I'm slashing my way through the golden age of the silver screen
I'm the American nightmare
I'm the man of the dreams
With the coldest cut (?)
So I'm sinking my claws in the silver screen

[Bridge]
One, two, dreams do come true
Three, four, see you at the morgue
Five, six, he'll get his fix
Seven, eight, you'll get the twisted end of fate
No!
Sick and twisted end of fate
No!
Now you face your fucking death (Tell your friends you're fucking dead?)

[Pre-Chorus]
Night comes creeping
I'll kill them and rock you to sleep

[Chorus]
I'm the American nightmare
From American dreams
I've counted my bodies while you count sheep
I'm the American nightmare
Yeah, I'm living the dream
I'm smashing my way through the golden age of the silver screen
I'm the American nightmare
I'm the man of your dreams
With the coldest cut (?)
So I'm sinking my claws in the silver screen
