This one’s for the funeral of the late American Dream
Cause of death determined to be the Wall Street Machine
This one’s for the family trying to make ends meet
And the old man in the shadow living on the street
This one’s for the weary and the workers on the line
Ain't no hero coming gotta help yourself this time
American Dream in your grave
On our knees we will be brave
Rest In Peace, American Dream
This one’s for the soldier fighting a foreign war
And the patriot shopping at the local big box store
This one’s for the graduate buried in student debt
Living with the folks looking for jobs they can’t get
This one’s for the sinner, the saint, and all the rest
Ain't no savior coming gonna have to do our best
American Dream in your grave
On our knees we will be brave
Rest In Peace, American Dream
This one’s for the 1 percent who gladly spare a dime
And know their bread is buttered by the good old 99
This one’s for the rebel blinded by the rain
Fighting to be heard and see the dragon slain
This one’s for the wounded, the wicked, and the wise
Ain't no help a coming, it’s time for us to rise
American Dream in your grave
On our knees we will be brave
Rest In Peace, American Dream
Rest In Peace, American Dream
