Besedno zvezo American Dream je prvi uporabil James Truslow Adams v knjigi The Epic of America, ki jo je napisal leta 1931.
Zapisal je:
“The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position.”
Ampak to so bile le sanje.. Ameriške sanje..

Freedom Like a Shopping Cart
A christian an anarchist slash prostitute figures out the true
Meaning of freedom not freedom like america freedom like a
Shopping cart kick back no tense you got a bag of grub cost you About 50 cents no fear no f**kin feat malt liquor tastes much Better on the street crustin away of life for heroines and heroes Who hitch hike the road to eden not eden like the garden state, Eden like the state of mind kick back cheap thrills. you’ll do Anything for a laugh even if it kills you the bridge you took it out…
The ticket takers suddenly lost count sleeping under rays your teeth Crumbling away say goodbye to all responsibility you never wanted It man wasting time whenever you get the chance which happens to Be all the time kick back free meals a couple times a day, you make A couple of shady deals no work no f**kin pay cardboard Condominium by the bay you’re between the red & black and You’re never goin back to all responsibility cause you never wanted It man

I don’t need to be a global citizen
‘Cause I’m blessed by nationality
I’m a member of a growing populace
We enforce our popularity
There are things that seem to pull us under and
There are things that drag us down
But there’s a power and a vital presence
That’s lurking all around
We’ve got the American Jesus
See him on the interstate
We’ve got the American Jesus
He helped build the president’s estate
I feel sorry for the earth’s population
‘Cause so few live in the U.S.A.
At least the foreigners can copy our morality
They can visit but they cannot stay
Only precious few can garner the prosperity
It makes us walk with renewed confidence
We’ve got a place to go when we die
And the architect resides right here
We’ve got the American Jesus
Bolstering national faith
We’ve got the American Jesus
Overwhelming millions every day
He’s the farmers barren fields
(In God)
The force the army wields
(We trust)
The expression on the faces of the starving millions
(Because he’s one of us)
The power of the damned
(Break down)
The fuel that drives the Klan
(Cave in)
He’s the motive and the conscience of the murderer
(He can redeem your sin)
He’s the preacher on TV
(Strong heart)
The false sincerity
(Clear mind)
The form letter that’s written by the big computers
(And infinitely kind)
The nuclear bombs
(You lose)
The kids with no moms
(We win)
And I’m fearful that he’s inside me
(He is our champion)
Yeah, we’ve got the American Jesus
See him on the interstate
(We’ve got the American Jesus)
We’ve got the American Jesus
Exercising his authority
We’ve got the American Jesus
Bolstering National faith
(We’ve got the American Jesus)
We’ve got the American Jesus
Overwhelming millions every day
One nation under God
One nation under God
One nation under God
Kdor ne skače ni Slovenc!

George Carlin je povedal vse:
“They call it the American Dream–because you have to be asleep to believe it.”
