lyrics

Work 80 hours a week.
Don’t even have time to sleep.
Life for the worker is suffering.
Slave to a corporation.
Your life is earning a check. Your family won’t know you, but you can afford a new truck.
New deck what’s next?
You’re living the American nightmare.
Brainwashed by capitalist fantasies.
Make money, SAVE.
Hard work PAYS.
Congratulations on your new raise.
50 cents and a slap on the face.
Break down next day, replace, culture of abuse, no respect
Underpaid. Understaffed. Overworked. Capitalist curse.
Grind harder, grind harder, grind harder, knee replacement.
Grind harder, grind harder, backs out.
Grind harder, burnout.
Grind harder, grind harder, heart attack.
Can’t escape the American nightmare.
You’re a victim of the American nightmare.
Work like an animal.
Yeah you’ll get paid.
Relax when you’re dead.
It’s the American way.
