Never get ahead
Work 'til death
Promise of wealth is all you're fed
But by now, you know
As you hang by your teeth
It's a maze you're in
And you're never meant to leave
The hours, the effort
The life that you're after
Is laughed at and spit on by the bastards in power
You'll never get what you give
But they want you to work harder
The American dream is reserved
No new members
Now they're so empty, blinded by billions
Couldn't begin to relate
Yet, they're the ones who decide for civilians
They pick their dollars off your back
Exploit the workforce free of tax
Rent or food, you must decide
Healthcare is a privileged right
The definition of the American dream
Is a happy way of living that is thought of by many
As something that can be achieved by anyone in the US
Specially by working hard
And people in positions of power propagate this myth
So you sell your soul to a job that takes advantage of you
Disrespects you and punishes you for unionizing
The hours, the effort
The life that you're after
Is laughed at and spit on by the bastards in power
You'll never get what you give
But they want you to work harder
The American dream is reserved
No new members
It doesn't matter what side you're on
If you're poor and working class, you're done
These things are set to keep you in your place
The fact is if we all united
They'd stand no fucking chance
They're made of money
But that's paper in the wind
Struggle makes you hard
And we could topple all of them
