living the dream

what is the american dream?

is it a house with a white picket fence?

driving a mercedes benz?

Or is the new american dream about surviving?

surviving the unemployment, the poverty, the violence?

or is the american dream gone?

is it too late for us?

is our generation doomed to live in squander

and battle for few jobs available?

let me tell you what my american dream is

it's living in peace

not worrying about when you're going to buy a house

or if you have a "good" job

it's about being happy

its about freeing our minds from materialistic thoughts

saying F-you to consumerism

going back to healing the land

and raising our own food and animals

If you think I'm crazy then I think you're crazy too

you who only thinks of money and big fancy cars

you who lets your kids play video games all day

YOU, SOCIETY

my american dream is not "american" it is human

i will not allow YOU to make me feel as if I've accomplished nothing

because I do not have material gains

I have more

I have love

love of my family

love of peace

love of happiness

tell me, when you die

will you have love?
