Doesn't just being in debt feel
like a long lost friend?
well just wait around cause the
desperation's kicking in,
and its already starting
to mix with one of my
best peices of fiction

and it's called i'll be getting by and i'll make
ends meet does the forty 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 is not going to be legit,
and that for sale sign thats hanging
on your neck might as well spell defeat,
yeah its already starting to
mix with on of my best peices of fiction

and it's called i'll be getting by
and i'll make ends meet does the
forty 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 i
t a little bit better than my parents
ever had it [x2]

my american dream is to have
it a little bit better than its just
a force habit

my american is to have it a little
bit better than my parents ever had it
