What happened to this world
Where is the american dream
Is this the america dream
Is greed and distrust and hatred and bigotry the american dream
Am I confused or am I just waking up
Where is the future I was promised
The flying cars and robot servants
Where is the space travel and my house on the moon
Where am I supposed to get the life I was promised
I work hard
The harder I work
The more money I make
The more expensive things get
And I can never catch up
Is this really what life is
Is this really the american way of life
Then why did they lie to us
Why fill our heads with dreams of things that will never come to be
Why brainwash us from birth to think that the world is ours
Why not tell us the truth and help make us stronger
Why not stop rigging the system for yourself
What about the future
Did you even think about the future
You fucked everything over for personal gain
Now you're mad at us for falling in line
Now you're mad at us for catching on
This isn't the american dream we were promised
This isn't the life we were told we would have
You lied
You lied and lied and lied
Now you're lying even more to cover it up
We see your lies
We hate your lies
If you hadn't rigged the system so bad we would take you down
Can't climb a ladder when you've removed the rungs behind you
Can't follow in your footsteps when you keep hiding them
History was written by the victors
Now we are realizing you may have been the bad guys after all
Now we are seeing the truth of what you did
Now we are disgusted with how you got us here
Now we want to fix it and make it better
We are making a new american dream
One that is for ALL
One that isn't corrupt
One that doesn't hate
A new american dream
And no
You're not invited
