lyrics
It can all be mine if I just work hard enough
I can buy my problems away
So I live in a sterile cube rotting under florescent tubes
I do everything they say
Nothing's gonna trickle down
From those bank accounts
Play the game day out, day in
It's no use you're at a dead end
The problem with the American dream
Is you have to be asleep
If you dont succeed it's you're own fault that you didn't
Horatio Alger is face down in the pavement
It's statistically impossible for everyone to win
Keep running in place you'll be in our percent
If you're feeling discontent then there's something wrong with you
You are not what you do you are consume
Nothing's gonna trickle down
From those bank accounts
Play the game day out, day in
It's no use you're at a dead end
The problem with the American dream
Is you have to be asleep
These measure of success are a myth beyond your reach
Life's not about an end it's living worthwhile means
My I never be content may I never be complete
May I never be content and may I never be complete
I can buy my problems away
So I live in a sterile cube rotting under florescent tubes
I do everything they say
Nothing's gonna trickle down
From those bank accounts
Play the game day out, day in
It's no use you're at a dead end
The problem with the American dream
Is you have to be asleep
If you dont succeed it's you're own fault that you didn't
Horatio Alger is face down in the pavement
It's statistically impossible for everyone to win
Keep running in place you'll be in our percent
If you're feeling discontent then there's something wrong with you
You are not what you do you are consume
Nothing's gonna trickle down
From those bank accounts
Play the game day out, day in
It's no use you're at a dead end
The problem with the American dream
Is you have to be asleep
These measure of success are a myth beyond your reach
Life's not about an end it's living worthwhile means
My I never be content may I never be complete
May I never be content and may I never be complete
