  • Breathe out, breathe in
    American oxygen
    Every breath I breathe
    Chasin' this American Dream
    We sweat for a nickel and a dime
    Turn it into an empire
    Breathe in, this feeling
    American, American oxygen

    American oxygen
    Breathe in, this feeling
    American, American Oxygen

    Oh say can you see, this is the American Dream
    Young girl, hustlin'
    On the other side of the ocean
    You can be anything at all
    In America, America
    I say, can't you see
    Just close your eyes and breathe

    Breathe out, breathe in
    American oxygen
    Every breath I breathe
    Chasin' this American Dream
    We sweat for a nickel and a dime
    Turn it into an empire
    Breathe in, this feeling
    American, American oxygen

    American oxygen
    Breathe in, this feeling
    American, American Oxygen

    American oxygen
    Breathe in, this feeling
    American, American Oxygen

    Oh say can you see, this is the American Dream
    Young boy, hustlin'
    Tryna get the wheels in motion
    But he can be anything at all
    In America, America
    I say, can't you see
    Just close your eyes and breathe

    Breathe out, breathe in
    American oxygen
    Every breath I breathe
    Chasin' this American Dream
    We sweat for a nickel and a dime
    Turn it into an empire
    Breathe in, this feeling
    American, American oxygen

    This is the new America
    We are the new America
    This is the new America
    We are the new America
    This is the new America
    We are the new America
    This is the new America
    We are the new America

    Breathe out, breathe in
    American oxygen
    Every breath I breathe
    Chasin' this American Dream
    We sweat for a nickel and a dime
    Turn it into an empire
    Breathe in, this feeling
    American, American oxygen

    American oxygen
    Breathe in, this feeling
    American, American Oxygen

    American oxygen
    Breathe in, this feeling
    American, American Oxygen
