The sun will rise in an hour
But I am awake
To work a job I hate
Don't want to be late
My worth is counted in money
Or so I've been told
Fit into the mold
Or you'll be thrown out in the cold
The American Dream is not what it seemed
It's broken our hearts it tore us apart
At the end of the day we're left to say
What was it for anyway
Spent the best years of your life
Just trying to survive
But at 65
Was it worth it to be alive
The American Dream is not what it seemed
It's broken our hearts it tore us apart
At the end of the day we're left to say
What was it for anyway
Wake up go to work
Go home and go to sleep
Then rinse and repeat
They promised us a life
They promised us a dream
The flag we're working for
Is tearing at the seams
