we sunk our roots into the soil
and worked our fingers to the bone
never doubting for a moment
that this place would be our home
for fourty years a blue collar slave
and they took everything, everything he ever gave
he was a husband, a faithful father, provider
(just another faceless piece in the lifeless machine)
he watched his dreams turned to cinders before his eyes
two kids, a house, a loving wife
a life of no regrets
and it all came crashing down around him,
brick by brick
where do you turn when there is nothing left
where do you turn when there all hope is gone
NO HOPE
just another victim of this nation of corporate greed
the american dream is a lie
the ones with the biggest and the best , in the end they still all die
the american dream is a lie
the system is crumbling from the inside
refuse, resist
fight with your mind and not with your fists
wash away the years of lies, of guilt, of abject shame
we will stand against tryanny, we must be the change
