American Dream Lyrics

All men are created equal with life and liberty

A promise of health and riches and opportunity

We wait on our leaders to give us prosperity

But they keep the wealth we get inequality

They sell us on an American Dream, credit cards high interest loans

They buy up some family farms to build their beautiful homes

Facing down the community with your qualified immunity

They give us guns so we don't build the guillotines

You can't pull up your bootstraps when you got no boots

You can't answer question they ask after they shoot

If you want to make it big all you gotta do is work

But the bosses pay you crumbs and they keep all the perks

They sell us on an American Dream, credit cards high interest loans

They buy up some family farms to build their beautiful homes

Facing down the community with your qualified immunity

They give us guns so we don't build the guillotines

The rich get richer while all of us are stuck

The politicians bicker 'cause they don't give a fuck'

They blame us for our struggles to keep us in our place

They take all our money and blast off into space

They sell us on an American Dream, credit cards high interest loans

They buy up some family farms to build their beautiful homes

Facing down the community with your qualified immunity

They give us guns so we don't build the guillotines

I got mine, fuck you

I got mine, fuck you

I got mine, fuck you

I got mine, fuck you
