Just being here today I feel like a long lost friend,
Well just wait around cause the desperation's kicking in, And its 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,

Ever get that funny feeling that your future is not going to be legit,
And that for sale sign that's hanging on your neck might as well spell defeat,
Yeah its 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,

My American is to have it a little bit better than my parents ever had it,
My American 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 its just a force habit,

My American is to have it a little bit better than my parents ever had it
