Good Riddance - October Lyrics

i woke up screaming
just the other night
awakened by another dream

i thought back to '80
thinking what would've happened
if everything wasn't how it seemed

ten years the lie survives
fucking with american lives
reduced to pawns in a power play

too long they've suffered
not for america
just for a lead on election day

my october my america
running out of time

my october my america
read between the lines
