looking down the street today
crime and war is all I've got to see
you look around, you want to know
is it really my country?
sometimes I wonder where it went
is it in bombs they always send
to killers round the world?
where's the other side
of my american dream?
and still they teach that dream in school
equality from sea to shining sea
you look around, you want to know
is it really my country?
you see that man there on the ground
just step over or around
his dreams have brought him down
where's the other side
of my american dream
where's the other side
where's the other side
