The American Dream

The table is tilted The game is rigged Continue with what you were doing Everything is fine We'll keep telling you all the things You want to hear We'll make sure you feel Safe and secure While we keep continuing To get richer and more powerful We'll make sure you feel Happy and contented Isn't this what you've always wanted? You're living out The American Dream! Stop what you're doing And open your eyes Things aren't always What they seem
