American Dream

We offer up empty greetings
 And pointless banter
 We don't always have to be machines
 And it never fails in fact
 And I, I have faith and
 I embrace hope
 And I expect something
 Larger than myself
 In parables I just
 Cant believe
 We praise mediocrity
 Behold, the American dream
 Behold, the American dream
 Behold, behold the American dream
 Freedom ringing
 Free to oppress, to betray
 To ignore, to destroy
 Free to detach, to abstain,
 To deceive, to annoy
 Behold, the American dream
 Behold, the American dream
 Behold, the American dream
 Behold, the American dream
 Behold, behold the American dream
 Behold, behold the American dream
