And when I wake up in the morning, I wonder if it will be the same
Take the kids to the mall, and wonder if they're all right
Yet, I feel so insecure. Am I doing alright? 'Cause it's the American dream
We sweat blood until it hurts, cause it's the American dream
We sell ourselves for a piece of happiness. Working the day
I'm pushing daises. I can't help but think, is there a better life?
'Cause I'm going crazy chasing a pension to secure my own design
Drag our hands through the mud, have the papers turned in
Caffeine affixation, smoking 'til the pack is done, cause it's the American dream
Our fingers covered in dirt. It's all just make believe
A magic trick where we think we have the key to life, but there was never one to begin with
We have good intentions, but we can't remember the love, the spark, the light
When did I forget who I was? I'll dull these thoughts with medication
I'm told that weakness is a sin, so I'm slaving once again
Drag our kids to education, at least I'm sleeping alright
