lyrics

This song's called North American Dream
Let's go

You can take a day or two but no more than that
We’ve got a real strict schedule to meet
Don’t you want to keep the lights on in that house?
Don’t you want to keep shoes on your kid’s feet?
See they don’t care if you’re sick
They don’t care if you’re ill
They need you to do things nobody else will
Cause if the lights go out
That American dream moves on

Are you tired of living, two weeks at a time?
Sing it
Working paycheque to paycheque
Fighting just to stay alive

As it goes on, you’re left behind
To wonder what life could have been like
If you were born in a different time
So don’t let it die

Can we talk about timing?
Or should we talk about love?
Maybe we should just walk away
And pretend it ain’t in our blood
‘Cause either you’re something or you’re nothing
You’re broken or you’re loving
Well if loving means nothing
Being broken meant something to me
Being broken meant something to me

Are you tired of living, two weeks at a time?
Working paycheque to paycheque
Fighting just to stay alive

As it goes on, you’re left behind
To wonder what life could have been like
If you were born in a different time
So don’t let it die

Toronto how we doing tonight everybody?
I can't hear you Toronto I say how we doing tonight?
We're a little band called The Honest Heart Collective
From a place called Thunder Bay, Ontario
And if you live there
You're either something or you're nothing

You’re something, or you’re nothing
You’re broken, or you’ve loving
Cause either you’re something, or you’re nothing
You’re broken, you’re broken

Are you tired of living, two weeks at a time?
Fucking paycheque to paycheque
Fighting just to stay alive

As it goes on, you’re left behind
To wonder what life could have been like
If you were born in a different time
So don’t let it die
Don't let it die
