"Living In America" lyrics

"Living In America"

(Living in America)
(Living in America)
(Living in America)

(Living in America)
(Living in America)

Little white picket fence
One job, two kids
Sorry man, that's now too expensive
The dream we inherited
Feels like a narrative
Bootstraps broke now we can't fix 'em

It's two grand for a little white house in Memphis
That's living in America now
Can't afford to buy it, so we'll just rent it
That's living in America now

You are my neighbor, not my enemy
(Living in America)
Funny how everybody else's dream
Is living in America now

Ooh, ooh
(Living in America)
Ooh, ooh
(Living in America)

Asking my telephone
What I should think
About the people that live across the street
Always angry, never kind
The media man makes another dime

Six bucks for a carton of eggs at Publix
That's living in America now
Getting mad at cities that you don't live in
That's living in America now

You are my neighbor, not my enemy
(Living in America)
Funny how everybody else's dream
Is living in America now

Ooh, ooh
(Living in America)
Ooh, ooh
(Living in America)

You are my neighbor, not my enemy
