A song about being stuck in the American dream and feel you are going nowhere fast. No hope, in the system....
lyrics
Ain't Going Nowhere
Sara lives her life down on the boulevard
It used to be so easy, until she fell out of grace
She's a queen in the night standing in the shadows.
Leather jackets, tight black jeans
Hanging out on a rock & roll scenes.
Living this life ain't what it seems
It's turning into her worst nightmare
Living this dream ain't going nowhere!
Johnny was a good kid always did what he was told.
Went to college to get the job of his dreams
Now he wakes up feeling kind of sick, in the middle of the night
Got no hope, Got no faith in the utopian wall street scene
Cause Living this dream ain't what it seems
It's turning into my worst nightmare
Living the dream I Ain't going nowhere!
Living this life yeah- used to be cool
But know I'm feeling like a goddam fool
Living the dream, I Ain't going nowhere- I Ain’t going nowhere, I Ain’t going nowhere,
Solo---
Chris is on the east side hustling vinyl that makes that glorious sound
He’s not getting rich, selling records, at least he’s not some corporate clown
Cause living this life ain't what it seems
It's turning into my worst nightmare
Living the dream, I Ain't going nowhere!
Living this life yeah used to be cool
But now I'm feeling like a goddam fool
Living the dream I ain't going Nowhere,
I Ain’t going nowhere, I ain’t going nowhere, I ain’t going nowhere, I ain’t going nowhere
