Let's hear it one more time for
The American dream
Fear and loathing
It's a brand of clothing
You can buy in a Walmart
But if you're smart
The Chinese have made it
And you've paid for it
With the American dream
Oh everybody's equal
Or so it would seem
But only in America
Because that's what it means
But really what they're saying is
We're better than you kids
Comprendez?
It's a foul game,
It's a penalty
Except the referee's
The one holding the keys to Life and Liberty
And how about the pursuit of happiness?
Well that only exists in excess
So buy, buy, buy your way to heaven
Unless you live the American dream
Who knew things could go so wrong?
It's just a show kid, no need to be your swan song
It's like we're playing Risk or a game of double jeopardy
On the Tv, with your host the President and his First Lady
It's not as if this is reality, could have fooled me
How about a parody? How about a comedy? How about a tragedy?
Is it any wonder that the world's a disparity?
The glass is half empty, or is it half full?
Well I know some have plenty and others hungerful
Can you see enough vulgarity, is it wonderful
Is this what you Americans want on your dinner plates?
Just a plastic president who spouts out rage and hate?
Just a smarmy army, full of red neck types
Just a whisky swigger and stereotypes
Tell me if it's wonderful or really if it's ripe
That you're eating chicken by the binful
And scoffing down the tripe
I need to take a moment, I can't believe my eyes
No, justice is blind, or I thought that was right
Now I can't believe my ears are those my cries?
Or someone else in pain and should I try to be nice?
Now I've lost the power of speech, I'm mute
But the voice of reason it doesn't sound cute
And it wouldn't get a season on the Disney plus network
So Let's all just play dumb until the President forgets it
And nothing he says means anything at all
Because there is no truth just a game of lies
in his American dream
