WHAT HAPPENED TO THE AMERICAN DREAM GINI APPRPOVED
CHORUS       What ever happened to the American dream?
                        It was supposed to be liberty and justice for all.
                        But now all of that seems like just a myth,
                        So many lose work as the economy falls.
 
VERSE           Once the tired and poor could come here and thrive.
                        They could build a good business or find a good job.
                        But today our borders are closed down to most.
                        And those seeking freedom are jailed like a mob.
 
CHORUS
 
VERSE           The dream was a good education for all,
                        And a healthy, prosperous, and long happy life.
                        But now the middle class keeps disappearing.
                        And they feel overwhelmed by worry and strife.
 

BRIDGE         And now the rich get richer and richer.
                        They get so much more than their fair share.
                        Meanwhile, everyone else is piling up losses,
                        But the wealthy act like they don’t have a care.
 
FINAL     CHORUS       
So we have to change the way things are.
We need a fairer system for all.
We have to create a brand new dream.
That everyone shares, so we all stand tall.
