Casey was born in anytown
Anytown USA
He dreamed his big dreams
Before he was sent away
He was sent with the strength of youth
And the love of God in his eye
But it was in the sands of a foreign land
That his dreams would finally die
So Goodbye American Dream
You 're dying in a foreign land
There is blood within the oil
That 's running through our hands
Goodbye American dream
Your were born in a righteous past
But those memories are so long gone
The dream, it should always last
There is blood in the sand
That cries out to me
There is blood in the truth
But we no longer see
There is blood in the sand
There is pain in our eyes
There is pain in our land
There is blood in our lies
So, wake me when it 's over
I just want to lay down and sleep
I scream out to Jesus Christ
And pray the Lord my soul to keep
There is blood all around us now
And Casey won 't be home
Our lies have sent him off to die
In our pain we 're left alone
No you won 't hear from Casey anymore
You can 't hear him scream
For with him went our souls again
And died the American dream
Yes, Goodbye American Dream
You 're dying in a foreign land
There is blood within the oil
That 's running through our hands
Goodbye American dream
The lies which did you in
Can be heard from Downing Street
All the way to Washington
There is blood in our eyes
There is blood in the sand
From Baghdad to DC
As far as our eyes can see
There is blood across this land
I cry out for sanity
I cry out to Jesus Christ
I tell you we support the troops
Let 's bring em home alive
Let 's bring em home alive
Let 's bring em home alive
Wake me when it 's over
When the last life has been laid down for this lie
Yes, wake me when it 's over
And tell me why Casey had to die
