American Dream

By Ablebody Peckawood

American dream it's all bullshit to me. Act like the person you want to be. Brown nosing, backstabbing your way to the top. If you do it right your the cream of the crop.
You wanna a taste of the good life? Fine wine and caviar?
Dirty dealings, two bit swindlings. Money hungry bastards your as good as stealing.
Stock market dreams, corporate lies the color of money has you hypnotised. Watch you fall deeper and deeper in debt. The life you live is a life of regret.
