Where's the dream

Who's got the news~I need to hear~If I don't I lose~climbing the ladder with every step~I can see things better~capitalism walking broader walls in the prison~punishment makes every buck in the system~gossiping streets tell the truth , not lies~somebody crossing every T and dotting every i~what about the homeless~I guess he sleeps where his bed lies~It's too sweet this " deceit"~sorry gorgie porgie pudding pie~acquired taste is only for the rich eyes~skeptical about the American dream~land where lying politicians are kings of kings~you can make a few~If you can sing , American Idol , launch your career~get you a title~If not so , 9 to 5 is your only survival~I realize sometimes that want cut it~hustling hands start selling knock offs~I.R.S holding hands out~they knock your socks off~I understand that keeps us on the edge~feet dangling from the ledge~don't commit suicide~try a brighter day instead~you still a child of the king~I can see the Halo hovering~bow and spread your wings~mama said it be days like this~It don't always rain sometimes it mist~can you see this from my eyes~If not , I'II write a novel called common sense~sometimes we all need to get things off our chest~this is the reason~why we vent I guess~
