American Dream
American Dream
Horror flicks.
Games and tricks.
Our future awaits as the clock ticks.
Tick-tock, tick-tock,
Listen as they yell and mock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
The door of fantasy through which you entered
Is locked.
This is the time when gone is the rich country of bliss,
Or at least you don't care if you're really so rich
Because it's just like a slum
Everywhere you look is scum
And you don't even know where some people come from.
Kids who steal nickels, dimes, and dollars from their friends
Will be robbing banks by the time our world ends.
And it's not their fault either,
These kids are just confused
T.V. and music
They're only trying to stay amused
And these things are even encouraged to be used
But then the lessons we learn are the freedoms we lose.
It's like you're giving us options from which we cannot choose.
It seems like every day it's getting worse and worse
It looks to me as if these people just thirst and thirst
For the chance to be stealing
Opportunities for killing
It's unbelievable-
Inconceivable
How they find it so thrilling.
And some of the men-
These perverted child-callers...
Some of these men beat women and find pleasure in their hollers
And the government tollerates it all
It's kinda mind-boggling how
They actually find it pleasing
That's right.
Just say "cheese!" and smile for the camera you rich and wealthy
Because your children are healthy
And lean
And you are living a dream
While women and children scream
And your pockets are filled...
While the citizens of your own nation can't even pay the bills
You make me so ill.
But that's right-you don't have to give.
You've already decided they don't deserve to live
So they can strive to survive if they wanna stay alive
Or else they die.
You know what I think...
Your american dream is a lie
