Mandi Sagal - American Dream Lyrics

My granddaddy died in the second world war
Thought he knew what he was fighting for
If he could see what came of the price he paid
I bet he'd roll over in his unmarked grave
I'm working forty hour weeks and I can't get by
I wanna get to living but I'm tryna survive
Where's the life and liberty and happiness
When you bury my body underneath six feet of debt
Let the world spin on its axis
I'm done busting my ass if
Every dollar I earn is a dollar I owe to a greedy old machine
They're counting my money while I'm counting sheep
I think it's time to wake up from the American dream
Downtown's burning you can watch it live
Another shooting at the mall on a Tuesday night
How did everyday living get to be so cruel
Gotta wonder what the hell we're turning into
We're just praying that the kids'll make it back from school
Let the world spin on its axis
I'm done busting my ass if
Every dollar I earn is a dollar I owe to a greedy old machine
They're counting my money while I'm counting sheep
I think it's time to wake up from the American dream
Let the world spin on its axis
I'm done busting my ass if
Every dollar I earn is a dollar I owe to a greedy old machine
They're counting my money while I'm counting sheep
I think it's time to wake up from the American dream
Slave to the system but at least we're free
I think it's time to wake up from the American dream
I think it's time to wake up from the American dream
