It's all part of the money machine, the money machine
It's all part of the capitalist scheme, the money machine
Makes you forget you're a human being
And I call it the money machine
So you can . . .
Go to school, study real hard, get your college degree
It's the American Dream, set up for you and me
To keep you from being free
Work from 9 to 5 sometimes overtime, just to pay your bills
The American Dream set up for you and me
By the jerks on Capitol Hill
Then one day, when you're sixty-five
Ain't got no reason to stay alive
Just sit at home waiting for your check
Personally I'd rather be hanging by the neck
So you can . . .
Go to school, study real hard, get your college degree
It's the American Dream, set up for you and me
To keep you from being free
Work from 9 to 5 sometimes overtime, just to pay your bills
The American Dream set up for you and me
By the jerks on Capitol Hill
