National Anthem
Does being in debt
feel just like a long lost friend
well just wait around
'cause the desperation's kicking in
And it's already starting to mix with
one of my best pieces of fiction
and it's called "I'll be getting by
and I'll make ends meet"
does the 40 hour week
have you bent at the knees
and you can't even see that everything's
kept just out of reach
Ever get that funny feeling
that your future's not gonna be bought cheap
and the for sale sign that's hanging on your neck
might as well spell defeat
And it's already starting to mix with
one of my best pieces of fiction
and it's called "I'll be getting by
and I'll make ends meet"
does the 40 hour week
have you bent at the knees
and you can't even see that everything's
kept just out of reach
My American dream is to have it
a little bit better than my parents ever had it
(x2)
my American dream is to have it
a little bit better than it's just a force of habit
my American dream is to have it
a little bit better than my parents ever had it
