American Dream

Burn your pictures of a happy family
Fathers smoking weed in the basement
Mom is too nervous to eat ice cream
There's no American Dream just misery
Snip, snip for beauty and true love

Smile it's a lovely day outside
Don't you hear the kids melting enjoy
So love God and love this nation
It's a beautiful day to be rich

They kick the homeless off the street
Call the streets beautiful because of it
This country only cares about babiesĀ 
When they're born and when they get served the military
For the rich can steal oil from Pakistan

Smile it's a lovely day outside
Don't you hear the kids melting enjoy
So love God and love this nation
It's a beautiful day to be rich

You're Christian you can live
If you're a woman you can be raped
If you're any color but white you can be killed
If you're not a rich white man you can go kill yourself
Isn't it a lovely day to be alive

Smile it's a lovely day outside
Don't you hear the kids melting enjoy
So love God and love this nation
It's a beautiful day to be rich
