Working hard from day to day now, I get a check that barely lasts
|
I'm just another no choice member in Uncle Sam's desperation class
|
Finding it hard to face my wife, new kid born out of shotgun life
|
Twenty years old and I love them both, see no sunshine in our skies
|
|
Silently we pray for turbulence to break
|
How much more financial stress can we all take?
|
|
Getting closer to our limit
|
We chase the penthouse from the basement
|
Our current rat race, we run to stand still
|
This is our fading American Dream
|
|
Bad news coming in, these higher rent rates gouge us thin
|
The sands of time are running down as we slip further behind
|
|
Bleeding my family, they're stretched too
|
Eviction notes, what can I do?
|
Twenty years old, feel my life's on hold
|
Yell at a school-taught God, oh why?
|
|
Silently we pray for turbulence to break
|
How much more financial stress can we all take?
|
|
Getting closer to our limit
|
We chase the penthouse from the basement
|
Our current rat race, we run to stand still
|
This is our fading American Dream
|
|
Have we ever been above water?
|
Do we ever see ourselves coming out of it alive?
|
|
Getting closer to our limit
|
We chase the penthouse from the basement
|
Our current rat race, we run to stand still
|
This is our fading American Dream
|
|
I got no time no to go and cry now
|
Leave for a second job, don't want to go poor
|
I'm just searching for my dignity
|
This is our fading American Dream
|
This is our fading American Dream
|
This is our fading American Dream
