lyrics

Defined over time
as a house with a lawn and a dog
Married with two kids
but only if you're straight enough to fake it

We were sold a lot of nonsense
over a white picket fence
Make us fight over dollars and cents
Laugh at our resistance

I'm a paycheck away from bankruptcy
And I'm one bad day from being out on the street
Spent 25K on a Master's degree
Making eleven bills an hour doing data entry

Here's to the death of the American dream
Never really quite what it seemed
Raise a glass
Here's to the death of the American dream

Designed over time
To inflict debt and drag us down
Slavery with benefits
and lots of stuff to watch on TV

I'm not my credit rating
My industry's creating
Let's see them run and panicking
to the sound of our awakening

I'm a paycheck away from bankruptcy
And I'm one bad day from being out on the street
Spent 25K on a Master's degree
Making eleven bills an hour doing data entry

Here's to the death of the American dream
Never really quite what it seemed
Raise a glass
Here's to the death of the American dream

We need a new dream
'Cause I'm done sleeping

I'm a paycheck away from bankruptcy
And I'm one bad day from being out on the street
Spent 25K on a Master's degree
Making eleven bills an hour doing data entry

Here's to the death of the American dream
Never really quite what it seemed
Raise a glass
Here's to the death of the American dream
