The American Dream

I'm only 1,299,000 left
Till I'm set for retirement
And the minimum wage
Ain't changed in 15 years
Well, ain't that inspiring

And I'm too damn tired to fight
So I wait for the man
To make it alright
But hand over heart
It's getting real hard to believe

Welcome to life
In the land of the free
You gotta be a whole lot richer than me
Betting it all on a fantasy
Is that why they call it
The American
American Dream
American Dream
Drowning in debt
Sea to shining sea
At least we're all living The American
American Dream
Yeah, the American Dream

Hey, everybody's life
On the internet
Looks better than mine
So I play pretend
Hiding all the worst bits
Under the surface
And acting like the damn top 1%

Ya everybody's flying to France
I was gonna go too
But I remembered I can't
'Cause hand over heart
I put gas in my car
With the last of my cash

Welcome to life
In the land of the free
You gotta be a whole lot richer than me
Betting it all on a fantasy
Is that why they call it
The American
American Dream
American Dream
Drowning in debt
Sea to shining sea
At least we're all living The American Dream

Hey, hey
I'm still trying
To keep this American Dream from dying
Hey, hey
I'm gonna find it
The red white and blue of a silver lining

Hey, hey
I'm still trying
Singing hey, hey
I'm gonna find it
The red white and blue of a silver lining

Welcome to life
In the land of the free
You gotta be a whole lot richer than me
Betting it all on a fantasy
Is that why they call it
The American Dream
American Dream
Drowning in debt
Sea to shining sea
At least we're all living The American Dream

Hey, hey
I'm still trying
To keep this American Dream from dying
Hey, hey
I'm gonna find it
The red white and blue of a silver lining
