The reason why they call it the American Dream
Is you got to be asleep if you want to believe
Now that you're waking up, I think you can see
The reason why they call it the American Dream
They bailed out Wall-street by robbing Mainstreet
They bailed out the Bankers and put your credit on freeze
They bailed out the Auto-makers, laid you off and closed the factories
Laz-a-fare, the invisible hand
Means your whole life depends on supply and demand
Follow the money to where the paper tail ends
You'll find corporate greed and government corruption
The reason why they call it the American Dream
Is you got to be asleep if you want to believe
Now that you're waking up, I think you can see
The reason why they call it the American Dream
News corporations spreading disinformation
Terrorize the terrorized, call it patriotism
Wrap it all up in the flag of religion
Frame the debate into indecision
The current situation with the new administration
Is the Grand Old Party refuses their Co-operation
They don't see that there is anything wrong
They've got 100 percent healthcare, while you got none
The reason why they call it the American Dream
Is you got to be asleep if you want to believe
Now that you're waking up, I think you can see
The reason why they call it the American Dream
They bailed out Wall-street by robbing Mainstreet
They bailed out the Bankers and put your credit on freeze
They bailed out the Auto-makers, laid you off and closed the factories
