Broken Dreams

They said it was just a passing fad Dark clouds continue to stay You have to take the good with the bad But the bad just won't go away They tell you to live the American dream And fight for that dream at all cost But now we all live the American scheme Too many dreams have been lost It cost an arm and a leg for a tank of gas And people are losing their jobs Lay it all on the line to borrow more cash But there are already too many scars So open your eyes oh say can you see Is this the American way No home can be saved and nothing is free And our dreams have been all swept away ~Billy Hitz~
