American Industry - American Dreams Long Gone

America always used to be known For her thriving Industry But now that all seems like a dream A wistful dream from way back when A time before the New World Order Made slaves of honest men. It used to be fair wages Fair pay for an honest day’s work. People could live the American Dream Your job gave you everything you needed Jobs were plentiful and abundant They weren’t being sent to countries overseas. You could work towards owning anything Life wasn’t just a daily struggle to survive Life was enjoyable and everything it seemed You could be anything you ever wanted to be Employment gave you a feeling of success and having good fortune It gave you a sense of inner pride. You could have a house, a car, a family You could accomplish and own something before you died. But those days seem to have disappeared They’re a memory that seems long gone Just like American Jobs and Security How long can this go on?
