"American Dream" lyrics

"American Dream"

Single file line
To say the pledge allegiance
For illusionary freedom
A gold star for your achievements
Keep you blind

They'll sell you on
American dreams
But you have to be asleep
If you wanna believe
It's not a lie

It's your fault you're so depressed
Up your meds and do your best
Suck it up and hold your breath
Work til you're dead, punch the clock, cash the check

Ooooh
Keep your head down and follow the rules
Get a job and stay the fuck in school
If that's all we gotta do
Then come and talk the talk
And I'll let you take a walk in bloody shoes

If we're all just canon fodder
Why the fuck we drinkin' water
Take your Adderral with coffee
Just to spike our cortisol
We're overstimulated
Under paid, and not appreciated
Guess I really fuckin' made it
God bless the USA

Thoughts and prayers
Won't save us here
So save your tears

Ooooh
Keep your head down and follow the rules
Get a job and stay the fuck in school
If that's all we gotta do
Then come and talk the talk
And I'll let you take a walk in bloody shoes

We did what you told us to do
We took all of the tests and followed all the rules
Raise your hand, shut your mouth
Be a man, quiet down
There's no sun underground, and you can't take your money with you

Ooooh
Keep your head down and follow the rules
Get a job and stay the fuck in school
If that's all we gotta do
Then come and talk the talk
And I'll let you take a walk in bloody shoes

Ooooh
Keep your head down and follow the rules
Get a job and stay the fuck in school
If that's all we gotta do
Then come and talk the talk
And I'll let you take a walk in bloody shoes
