American Dream
Skin and Bones
Hold me Close
Time is Moving
Watch it go...
Up at four
Out the door by five
Need to kill yourself
Just to stay alive
We work late
At a job we hate
Don't have a choice
Need food on our plate
Save it up
Just to buy a house
Can't enjoy it though
Never see your spouse
Days are spent
Cars in front and back
The American dream
More like a panic attack
Drowning in the sins
of our parent's broken dreams
Crucifying our purpose
To fill somebody else's needs
Working like a slave
For less than minimum wage
Can't afford a future
Living day by day
The American dream
Can you smell the greed
And if you don't succeed
Their plan is working
The American Dream
Lady Liberty
Standing over me
What does it all mean?
To live
The American dream
ahh ahh ah ah ah ah
ahh ahh ah ah ah
Job is life
Never enough time
We cant concentrate
Trying to walk the line
Happiness seems to come and go
Try to hold it tight
But then it lets go
Working hard
Life is a routine
We work hard in school
Released at eighteen
Two choices
College or a job
Whatever you choose
You still end up robbed
Drowning in the sins
of our parent's broken dreams
Crucifying our purpose
To fill somebody else's needs
Working like a slave
For less than minimum wage
Can't afford a future
Living day by day
The American dream
Can you smell the greed
And if you don't succeed
Their plan is working
The American Dream
Lady Liberty
Standing over me
What does it all mean?
To live
The American dream
The American dream
Can you smell the greed
And if you don't succeed
Their plan is working
The American Dream
Lady Liberty
Standing over me
What does it all mean?
To live
The American dream
Ohh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh
Hold me Close
Time is Moving
Watch it go...
Up at four
Out the door by five
Need to kill yourself
Just to stay alive
We work late
At a job we hate
Don't have a choice
Need food on our plate
Save it up

Ohh oh oh
