[00:00:00] American Dream - Jimmy Cliff

[00:00:01] Oh yeah the American dream

[00:00:05] American dream

[00:00:07] The American dream

[00:00:09] So you want to get American visa

[00:00:14] To go where they say the living is easier

[00:00:18] Since you were young you been told

[00:00:21] You can get anything there

[00:00:23] But the soul

[00:00:28] Freedom and prosperity for all

[00:00:32] Equal opportunity stalk all

[00:00:37] But words without deeds

[00:00:39] Is like a gold wind full of breeze

[00:00:42] So you better take heed

[00:00:46] So you better beware

[00:00:49] And you better take care

[00:00:51] Cause you just might be there for a nightmare

[00:00:57] Oh yeah the American dream

[00:01:01] American dream

[00:01:03] The American dream

[00:01:06] Oh yeah the American dream

[00:01:10] The American dream

[00:01:12] Is not what it seems

[00:01:19] And so it's better to seek a home

[00:01:24] In Mount Zion I than in Rome

[00:01:28] Cause when your lake be get dry

[00:01:31] A lot of people go comply

[00:01:33] Some might even die

[00:01:37] And so is Africa for Africans

[00:01:43] India for Indians

[00:01:48] China for the Chinese ones

[00:01:50] Europe for the Europeans

[00:01:56] And now you understand

[00:01:59] I hope you find your Land

[00:02:01] Because a dream is not reality

[00:02:07] Oh yeah the American dream

[00:02:11] American dream

[00:02:13] The American dream

[00:02:16] Oh yeah the American dream

[00:02:20] The American dream

[00:02:22] Is not what it seems

[00:02:43] Yeah

[00:02:43] For some it means the power and the glory

[00:02:48] And still for some a super vision story

[00:02:52] Still for some an illusion filled with confusion

[00:02:57] And illusion notions

[00:03:02] I know for some it means a man's ambition

[00:03:06] Or the memory of organisation

[00:03:11] For when the big operations

[00:03:13] Take you in litigation you need protection

[00:03:18] From most High Jah Rastafari

[00:03:21] So you better beware

[00:03:23] And you better take care

[00:03:25] Cause you just might be there for a nightmare
