American Dream
MDFMK Lyrics

In the land of the free, under the thumb
Despite being called the land of the free, we're really under the control of those in power.

Divided and conquered TV keeps us numb
Television plays a big role in keeping us distracted and unaware of what's going on, while also contributing to the division among us.

Coast to coast a la-la land
From one side of the country to the other, it feels like we're living in a fake, fantasy world.

From cradle to grave with our heads in the sand
We're born and raised with a sense of complacency, and often choose to ignore harsh truths and unpleasant realities.

Nice and easy a conveniece oasis
We're given the illusion that everything is easy and convenient, when in reality a lot of our comforts come at a price.

Screwed with a chainsaw, all smiling faces
Despite the fact that we're being mistreated, those in power pretend like everything is okay and have no qualms about using extreme measures to control us.

Born superheroes mega fantastic
Our society glorifies those who are deemed exceptional, and puts them on a pedestal as heroes.

Serving the one and only god plastic
We place a lot of emphasis on materialistic possessions and plastic beauty standards, often to the detriment of our mental health and overall wellbeing.

A bang for a buck, an eye for an eye
We're a society that values money and financial gain, and believe in getting revenge instead of taking the higher road.

In the USofA we just live to die
The harsh reality of living in America is that it often feels like we're just going through the motions, leading unfulfilling lives until we inevitably succumb to death.

American dream a lifeless horror
The concept of the American Dream has lost its meaning and become a nightmare, leading to a sense of hopelessness among many Americans.

The western world has no tomorrow
Our society is so fixated on immediate gratification that we're disregarding the future destruction of our planet and society as a whole.

American nightmare wake up baby
We need to acknowledge the harsh realities of our society and take action to make changes, or things will only continue to get worse.

Imperialism with the best of intentions
Our country often tries to justify acts of imperialism and expansion by claiming it's for the greater good, even though it often causes harm to other countries and societies.

Our nation's built on ruthless expansion
The foundation of our country was built on taking over and exploiting others, and this mentality has continued to persist over the years.

Policing the planet in every dimension
We believe it's our responsibility to police the entire world, even though it often leads to more harm than good.

Protecting the world by blunt intervention
We often take a brute force approach to intervening in other countries' affairs, believing that it's for their own good.

We live to kill and kill to live
Our culture glorifies violence and war, and often prioritizes it over other aspects of life.

The principle is always take never give
Our society often operates with a mentality of greed and selfishness, taking more than we give and valuing individual gain over communal success.

When cash in hand is the judge and jury
Money often determines one's worth and ability to advance in society, rather than actual talent or merit.

Things look best when the vision is blurry
We often choose to remain ignorant or oblivious to unpleasant truths, because it's easier than confronting them head on.

We stick to the rules, we're polite and PC
We often prioritize following social norms and being politically correct, rather than actually standing up for what's right or necessary.

We live and breath idiosyncrasy
Our society values uniqueness and individuality, but often to the point where it leads to fragmentation and division.

No need to complain or kickin [sic] up a fuss
We're often discouraged from speaking out or causing a scene, even if it means highlighting injustices or issues that need to be addressed.

We sold ourselves out now the jokes on us
We've let ourselves be taken advantage of and exploited by those in power, and are now paying the price for our complacency.

Captain America somehow acquitted
The image of America as heroic and just is often at odds with the reality of our government's actions and history.

Denial, denial we all know you did it
Despite knowing deep down that something is amiss or unjust, we often choose to turn a blind eye or deny the truth.

Innocence, pride, stabbed in the back
Our sense of innocence and pride often leads to us being blindsided and exploited by those in power, to our own detriment.

In the home of the brave defense equals attack
Our culture often prioritizes being on the offensive or defensive, rather than peaceful resolution or diplomatic solutions.

USofA we just live to die (x2)
Reiterating the previous sentiment that it feels like we're living unfulfilling lives with no purpose or hope for improvement.

We just live to die (x2)
Reiterating the previous sentiment that death feels like an inevitable and unfulfilling end to our lives.
