He sees his life just pass byJust another number in a suit and tieNo purpose here nothing to giveIs this what it means to really live?His feet never touch the groundHis days fly by, he can't slow down(CHORUS)Casualties of the American dreamHave we lost our visionDrifting off and livingHalf asleep with a faint heartbeatJust dying to be revivedI want to be revivedShe's screaming out,"I've lost control"Caught in another undertowShe's only barely hanging onBeen holding her breath for so longHer feet never touch the groundShe's not sure which way is up or down(CHORUS)Casualties of the American dreamHave we lost our visionDrifting off and livingHalf asleep with a faint heartbeatJust dying to be revivedI want to be revivedI want to feel aliveAnd in a world so numbDon't let me become anotherCasualty living in a dream(CHORUS)Casualties of the American dreamHave we lost our visionDrifting off and livingHalf asleep with a faint heartbeatJust dying to be revivedI want to be revivedI want to be revived
