THE AMERICAN DREAM
OJO 2004

Take it easy
but take it all
you live in the land
where you can step on everything
that is too small to make it big
you live in the land
where the rivers are of melted gold
and the mountains are so high
that they pass through the sky
you live in the land
where you have the right to kill
if you assume that somebody will harm you

Astray that is what you are
but if you are shrewd enough to know
the asylum is the place to go

Take it easy
but take it all
you live in the land
where the authentic is false
and lies are the truth and it is impossible to fall
you live in the land
where the president knows what to do
lay your life in his liver spotted hands
you live in the land
where you can eat and drink till you drop
and the drunks and the bag people
they eat all your trash
and if you don't want them in your backyard
you have the full right to blow them away

Take it easy
but take it all
you live in the greatest land
where you are free to believe that you have everything
and that death will linger before he takes you away
you live in the promised stolen land
where everybody that is tough enough can take
what they want
without concerning about the cost
take it easy
but take it all
because this is the only reason why you once were born
into this free democratic capitalistic socialistic world
so never let anybody deny you anything
take it easy
but take it all
