American Dream

go to high school 
get good grades 
give in 
stifle it 
follow fashion trends 
consume 
cry in the mirror 
hate your parents 
pretend you´re happy 
go to college 
get a degree 
go to parties 
get drunk 
get laid 
smoke pot 
get in debt 
$80,000 on your back 
be afraid 
be very afraid 
there are terrorists 
they want to destroy you 
give in 
freedom is great 
do what you´re told 
go to war 
be a hero 
be a patriot 
fight evil 
fight for democracy 
be afraid 
get wounded 
get killed 
waste away at the VA 
go to work 
in an office 
buy a car 
get married 
have a kid 
buy a house 
give in 
go in debt 
pay the mortgage 
5-year plan 
10-year plan 
15-year plan 
consume 
get a divorce 
have a mid-life crisis 
buy a new T.V 
be afraid 
send your kids to college 
consume 
go in debt 
work work work 
until nothing is left 
your social security 
your pension 
your 401K 
are all gone 
stay on auto-pilot 
never cry 
never understand 
death.
