The Great American Dream



Forming Lines, turn your head, outstretched hands, they’re reaching out for help



And i won't try to accuse you, but these hands don’t work like they used to

They’re callused they’re worn out the’re bleeding for what?

I think we can do better

We play the part the part we claim denial, through cardboard masks we still can smile

This is the way our fathers taught, nothings so blessed it can’t be bought

This is the way our fathers taught, productions still the bottom line and it won’t be stopped



The Great American Dream, if you have faith, if you believe

Another days an opportunity, to work twice as hard just to breathe

The Great American Dream, a fragile future that's been ripped at the seam

It's not for you and it's not for me, The Great American Dream



We’re just looking for stability, as long as you’re alive you’ll lack it believe me

We’re callused we’re worn out we’re bleeding for what?

I think we can do better

We had a goal a happy thought, now we punch cards until we rot

Windowless buildings kept us in, anger runs thick under thin skin

Windowless buildings tried to keep us in, rather than stars tonight we’ll watch the warehouse lights spin



The Great American Dream, if you have faith, if you believe

Another days an opportunity, to work twice as hard just to breathe

The Great American Dream, a fragile future that's been ripped at the seam

It's not for you and it's not for me, The Great American Dream



It was the painted illusion of the dream

That gave my existence, my life deeper meaning

It was the dying illusion of being free

That kept me going that kept me going



The Great American Dream, if you have faith, if you believe

Another days an opportunity, to work twice as hard just to breathe

The Great American Dream, a fragile future that's been ripped at the seam

Its not for you, its not for me, The Great American Dream
