Working hard from day to day now, I get a check that barely lastsI'm just another no choice member in Uncle Sam's desperation classFinding it hard to face my wife, new kid born out of shotgun lifeTwenty years old and I love them both, see no sunshine in our skiesSilently we pray for turbulence to breakHow much more financial stress can we all take?Getting closer to our limitWe chase the penthouse from the basementOur current rat race, we run to stand stillThis is our fading American DreamBad news coming in, these higher rent rates gouge us thinThe sands of time are running down as we slip further behindBleeding my family, they're stretched tooEviction notes, what can I do?Twenty years old, feel my life's on holdYell at a school-taught God, oh why?Silently we pray for turbulence to breakHow much more financial stress can we all take?Getting closer to our limitWe chase the penthouse from the basementOur current rat race, we run to stand stillThis is our fading American DreamHave we ever been above water?Do we ever see ourselves coming out of it alive?Getting closer to our limitWe chase the penthouse from the basementOur current rat race, we run to stand stillThis is our fading American DreamI got no time no to go and cry nowLeave for a second job, don't want to go poorI'm just searching for my dignityThis is our fading American DreamThis is our fading American DreamThis is our fading American Dream
