I smoke weed in the city of a Netflix nation
Laying in bed all day stay naked
Never gonna stop until I have it all
I want a burger with fries supersize my bacon
A big apple pie yeah as much as I can take in
Never gonna stop until I have it all
Singing
Oh oh oh oh Give me liberty or give me death
Oh oh oh oh Ain’t nothing else
I want what I want Not what I need
Even if it kills me I’ll be free
I want what I want Not what I need
The American dream
I want what I want Not what I need
Even if it kills me I’ll be free
What I want's just what I want…the American dream
I want a house on the hill and a couple other mansions
g4, a jet, and a lambo to crash in
Never gonna stop until I have it all
I want a playboy bunny in a school girl outfit
Botox lips in a silicon valley
Never gonna stop until I have it all
Singing
Oh oh oh oh Give me liberty or give me death
Oh oh oh oh Ain’t nothing else
I want what I want not what I need
Even if it kills me I’ll be free
I want what I want not what I need
The American dream
I want what I want not what I need
Even if it kills me I’ll be free
What I want's just what I want…the American dream
I like it bigger faster stronger
Give it to me louder harder
(x5)
I want what I want not what I need
Even if it kills me I’ll be free
I want what I want not what I need
The American dream
I want what I want not what I need
Even if it kills me I’ll be free
What I want's just what I want…the American dream

It’s so sad that so many people don’t know about this song, it deserves far more attention
True
true
I'd say the same about what are we fighting for
Same about all their songs

Fantastic Song! From Italy with love!
Davide Nikolla amazing! Hope to make it out there next year!
This will definitly be my favourite song this year :) This song needs so much more attention ^^
I'm so glad Chad stayed doing music. I always liked his lyrics
thank you !!!!
I found this song on "The resident" movie S1E1 ...luv it 👏👏
Very nice flow, and a well executed example of an intentionally anti-climactic ending. Truly amazing vocals, and instrumentals that don't overpower the lyrics like in many songs nowadays. Top tier song, good job.
thank you
I like your Enclave profile picture
I like that you guys write complete verses, plural. It's a lost talent in this world of 4x 4 line, 1x 2 line verses, and sometimes a 2 lines bridge music wasteland. Keep on rocking, your songs are more repeatable for it
Omg I cannot agree with this comment enough, well written verses are a dying art!
Nice patriotic song with a country twist. Keep it up you guys, i know you since Carolina Liars and just as i happened to stumble on "i'm not over" for nostalgia's sake i saw your comment and that's how i know now about the band name change. I've thought all along that you guys got disbanded ever since. But you're such a promising band i wish you nothing but the best of luck.
This song deserves a lot of attention does anyone agree
How are you guys not more popular? You guys are genius'!!!
haha thanks so much!
@@thefederalempirehi
Just found this band and this song. Good music good band
Omg I just found this channel!! I love Carolina Liar and now I love The Federal Empire!
This song is amazing! As an Uruguayan who's biggest dream is to migrate to the US and became a citizen, it really touches me! That is the American Dream, freedom and unlimited opportunities!
I hope you make it hear man, I've lived my entire life in the US, and I love it here. Its beautiful, with a unique culture and amazing music, and I hope you can come and experience this place with us. Be warned though, like everywhere we aren't perfect here in the US either, and there's plenty of ways to trip and fall if you aren't careful. This song isn't lying but neither are Johnny Cash and Tupac, the US can be rough.
Nonetheless though, the problems we face here will only make us stronger, and I think anyone who wants to come to this country should have the opportunities to do it. After all, diversity is strength.
I hope you can achieve your dream some day! I wish more people in our country appreciated the american dream as much as you do
Dale papá en el casmu los remedios te salen 30 pesos y en yankeelandia te salen 500 dolares dejate de joder. Mudate a Canadá por lo menos no a usa, es una poronga
Yep I'm American and this is the literal definition of modern day america. Great song.

I found this song on Amazon music and not only fell in love with the style in general but also with the lyrics! In my opinion songs where the lyrics actually mean something are way better, just like in this song here :)

Hello from "The Resident"
So sick!
I don’t know whether to interpret this song at surface value as literally “I want what I want” or if this song is actually a clever criticism of the typical american’s desires and views, and how they consistently choose what they want over what they need, to their own detriment (like the example of a burger and fries - you might want fast food, but it’s not what you need because it’s unhealthy and eventually makes you sick). Eh, imma interpret this as the latter, I really like to perceive this as a clever criticism of The Modern America. Really catchy as well! Love it :)
I think it is the latter, great song regardless.
Either way, everyone jokes about their culture. Haha, it's funny, honestly, it's true about America. From experience, I must say, it is quite close.
@@sigg8614 true
howbout no
I think it’s a criticism of Libertarianism and Libertarian beliefs in general, how people are incapable of making choices that are good for them at the cost of what they want. If people are “too free”, they get hurt. Which, as a Libertarian, I disagree with, but I like the song regardless because it raises some good points.
Catchy song keep it up :)
thank you so much!
Espero que um dia tenham o reconhecimento que merecem, banda maravilhosa
Kiwi Here, Great Song I Love It. :)
Great song...........share...!!!!
hanif Aja thanks so much!
Very good, one hello from Brazil

How can something be so good!
haha that means the world to us!
It is an amazing song
;)
got chance to see you yesterday at place bell with lindsey stirling, guys you were amasing ! totally sub from this day
thank you
Timeless music
My interpretation of this song is a criticism of Libertarianism and Libertarian beliefs. “I smoke weed in a city” Legalization of marijuana and other drugs is a staple of Libertarian Politics. “...of a Netflix Nation” refers to the way Libertarians want to privatize almost all major industries, and replace them with corporations. “I want a burger with fries, supersize my bacon, a big apple pie, as much as I can take...” has two points. “Supersize” is a reference to McDonald’s, a mega-corporation. The food is an allusion to health and safety. This directly borrows from the idea that if people are too free, they can get hurt. Sacrificing safety for freedom is yet another staple of Libertarianism. “A G4 A Jet and a Lambo to crash in” referring to the massive wealth divide that would result from a strictly Anarcho-Capitalist (extreme Libertarian) society. If you have enough money for a private jet AND a Lamborghini just to crash, you are extremely wealthy. “Give me liberty, or give me death” a reference to the famous speech by Patrick Henry, a man who would be considered a Libertarian if he were alive today. “I want a Playboy bunny in a schoolgirl outfit” a reference to Hugh Hefner, a multi-millionaire famous for his lavish lifestyle and endeavors with women. “Botox lips and Silicon Valley”, Botox being unhealthy, and Silicon Valley being the home of tech millionaires and billionaires. I’m certain there are other references, and I just missed them, but that’s pretty much what I’ve deduced from this song. As a Libertarian, you’d think I’d hate this song, when in reality, I believe it raises good points. I wholeheartedly believe that we shouldn’t sacrifice our freedom for safety, even if it means people are going to make dumb decisions.
My view on this:
So, basically what Americans perceived as freedom as being able to eat, do, and have whatever you want.
If you want to eat 10 million burgers and get fat you can if you want to protest animal rights you can. Nobody should stop you from doing that because that is true freedom.
So, this song is saying I would rather die than being under a controlling system. Which is the line "I want what I want not what I need even if it kills me I'll be free"
Also, it means that even if I die might as well go out with a bang or just do whatever I want than someone telling me what to do.
The lines "I want a bigger, faster, stronger give me to it louder harder" is just taking about having fun. I want to have fun but, I want to make sure I have a lot of it. Also, to be the best moments of my life.
The verses saying "I want a burger with fries, supersize my bacon
Big apple pie, as much as I can take in'"
Or
"I want a house on the hill and a couple other mansions
G4, a jet and a Lambo to crash in
Never gonna stop until I have it all
I want a Playboy Bunny in a schoolgirl outfit
Botox lips in a Silicon Valley"
Is just saying this is the fun I want, I don't need it and I can survive without it but let's make these my best moments.
So, I just view the song as I want to do anything that isn't necessary so when I die I at least know that I wasn't controlled and I had the best time.
Miss Carmex Interesting. I like that perspective!
@@loganeasley4343 thank you, I like your perspective as well.
I hate libertarians trying to legalize weed but i agree with a lot of their other policies. I think its probably leaning more towards a pro libertarian song though
Okay, so, why didn't I know this song before? I love it.
Best song ever :OO
Love this song
i listen evry day :)
Dangiras kill awesome!

I'm still convinced this is a song about gay sex veiled as a song about the American dream
Just saw you guys in Dallas at Lindsey Stirling's concert. I'm not sure I left there talking more about her or you guys but your song "I never liked your friends" is awesome!
Thank you ! That was a good night !

The american dream is the best song.
