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
