| AMERICAN DREAM Words: Jaime Meaning: This song is about the overwhelming contrasts between the lifestyles of the extremely rich and the extremely poor. Not about people who have worked hard for their money, but those who basically are born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Old School Republicans, take note, THIS SONG'S FOR YOU! American Dream, American Dream, everybody wants the American Dream x4 Homeless have no homes, and their severely lacking in wealth They eat malnourished meals, which leads to less than stellar health They try to pick themselves up by trying to get some work But they all just get shot down by suit-wearing jerks The rich have so much money, they don't the meaning of poor Their only biggest worry is when are they gonna get more The rich are so concerned about the states of their stocks and bonds That they didn't even notice that their demeanor is in the wrong Everywhere I look, I see the same thing Someone's fucked up view of the American Dream The rich and the poor have their own interpretation What's good for one is not for the other In this wonderful nation American Dream, American Dream, everybody wants the American Dream x4 Everyone wants to win and nobody wants to lose Everybody wants to be rich without paying their fucking dues Because the rich got all their money from their parent's inheritance checks While the poor are left to fend for themselves and fight against stacked decks I am neither rich nor poor, just a member of the middle class I don't need no one's charity, nor will I sit on my ass The rich will get what they deserve, for thinking of only themselves I hope they burn in hell in the cell they built for themselves.
