Here Lies The American Dream

Here Lies The American Dream

Here lies the American Dream,
Replaced with sin, dashed hopes, evil plots, and schemes.

Here lies what our forefathers fought and died for,
What so many honest folks worked, struggled, and tried for.

Here lies what I thought was the good life,
Cut down by the blade of a very sharp knife.

And the knife happens to be named Poverty,
Which explain's why so many dishonest men are robbin' me.
