Song Structure and Lyrics
-------------------------
INTRO: LEAD x2
INTRO: INTRO: LEAD x6
&
VERSE
Just being here today I feel just like a long lost friend.
Well just wait around cause the desperation's kicking in.
CHORUS
Yeah, it's already starting to mix with one of my best pieces of fiction.
And it's called I'll be getting by and I'll make ends meat.
Does the forty-hour week have you bent at the knees,
And you can't even see that everything's kept just out of reach?
BRIDGE INTRO: LEAD x8
&
VERSE
Ever get that funny feeling that your future's not gonna be legit,
And that for sale sign that's hanging on your neck might as well spell defeat?
CHORUS
Yeah, it's already starting to mix with one of my best pieces of fiction.
And it's called I'll be getting by and I'll make ends meat.
Does the forty-hour week have you bent at the knees,
And you can't even see that everything's kept just out of reach?
OUTRO
My American dream is to have it a little bit better than my parents ever had it.
My American dream is to have it a little bit better than my parents ever had it.
My American dream is to have it a little bit better than it's just a force habit.
INTRO: LEAD x 6
My American dream is to have it a little bit better than my parents ever had it.
