saint ripley - new american dream lyrics

[intro – jfk]
my call is to the young at heart, regardless of party
be strong and of good courage, be not afraid
for courage, not complacency, is our need today

[verse 1]
new american dream is triple beam balance
or 30k a year working eighty some hours
the hours that we put in to get what’s ours
or promised at least, defeated after decades
of unnecessary learning, time to spark and keep it burning
a fire inside our minds, can we remind ourselves –
we all been lied to, we still just cave to
what’s easier instead of solving the problems?
look, the government is f-cked up, there ain’t nothing
they won’t touch, then try to take a cut from
we won’t stop til these mother f-ckers pay up
so best know that if i shut up
you know it wasn’t cause i wanted to stop, stop, stop
raging against the machine, see this microphone fiend
push a dollar and a dream til he tears down the system
systematic, break the habit, sick of getting p-ssed on

[interlude – jfk]
a new frontier is here, whether we see it or not
it would be easier to look to the safe mediocrity of the past
but i believe that the times require imagination and courage and perseverance

[verse 2]
american dream is dead, find another program
fairy tails don’t exist for me, you, or no man
flip the channel, load some ammo, steal what you want!
those in power hate you and they wanna see you crushed!
f-ck, i ain’t bounce back from h-ll to come and lie to you
and i ain’t seeing heaven this lifetime, so i’ma
dress in black, throw it back and spark another riot
break my role, they dread it, but it’s obvious it’s time
to rabble rouse the rebels, and take back the power
you’ve finally tuned the channel that takes back what’s ours
so come on everybody, let’s have fun tonight
let’s dethrone the cowards, and we might, just might
bring some a-r fifteens for fun
we got 45 problems – i can solve with one
mama always said not to play with guns
so i’ma wait until it’s time to make these cowards hide and run
