It's all part of the money machine, the money machine
It's all part of the capitalist scheme, the money machine
Makes you forget you're a human being
And I call it the money machine

So you can
Go to school, study real hard, get your college degree
It's the American Dream, set up for you and me
To keep you from being free
Work from 9 to 5 sometimes overtime, just to pay your bills
The American Dream set up for you and me
By the jerks on Capitol Hill

Then one day, when you're sixty-five
Ain't got no reason to stay alive
Just sit at home waiting for your check
Personally I'd rather be hanging by the neck

So you can
Go to school, study real hard, get your college degree
It's the American Dream, set up for you and me
To keep you from being free
Work from 9 to 5 sometimes overtime, just to pay your bills
The American Dream set up for you and me
By the jerks on Capitol Hill
