An American Dream

"This is no longer an american dream"
"American Dream" is the tenth track of August Burns Red's second studio album, Messengers. Although the metalcore band is most notable for their Christian-infused lyrics, this song stands out as a unique entry in their set list because it shifts focus away from the personal struggles of singer Jake Luhrs and towards the broader scope of America.
It's a basic message of our self-indulgence and questionable foreign policy, and many other artists have protested similar issues, but it's more striking coming from a band who has previously shown little interest in the political aspect of music.
