American Dream

They sit you down, comfort you, and give you the speech
They explain what it means, the American dream
They shine their shields with the American gleam
They forget to mention the American scheme

It’s the great mask
It’s the laugh track
It holds us back
Keeps us huddled in our mental shack

I’m told click this link
It’ll make you happy
Update your status
Quick, think of something snappy

Listen to this album
It’ll help you get some
Wear that shirt, and these shoes
They think that I’m an obsequious fool

Take this pill
Let it dumb you down
Relax, sit, chill
Don’t fight, stick around

Why rebel?
You’re life is perfect
No one rings the bell
The dream isn’t worth it

They plug my brain up to a perpetual lifeline
Keeping me alive, a sheep to their life-crimes
The only way to win the battle and get the man to shut up
Is to open your eyes, see the truth, and wake up
