Killing the Dream -

Wake up in the morning

grab wrinkled slacks and tie

pull yourself together it’s time to live your daily fucking lie

this perfect life the one they promised was everything turns out it’s nothing

but giving up your dreams

you’ll work your whole life chasing something you never wanted

and in the end there’s nothing but regret,

so grab a cup of coffee saddle up to the desk

rest your weary head in hands work on someone else’s fucking mess

what were you chasing?

is this your prize?

three kids that hate you?

wife that won’t look you in the eye?

your mortgage haunts you

life’s rug’s been pulled from under you

the american dream

is that when you hate it all?

now all that’s left is what time you have to yourself you fantasize how to cap

off your fucked up life nailbomb the office burn down the house

who fucking cares if the dog, the wife and kids die freedom traded for a dollar

at 20 you had it all now you can’t wait till 5 o’clock to drown your shitty

life this perfect life work until you die turns out it’s nothing

your life’s a lie
