Going through the motions

Too tired to think

Too tired to eat

Spending precious time

Carelessly

Our obsession with

Chasing the American dream

They teach us that wanting more

Is the noble thing

We ignore the fact that we're

In-between

Middle class sovereignty 

Has dissipated

Abandoned by politicians

[Too busy playing golf]

To pay attention

Not to mention

All the oppression 

That's the cause

Of the great depression

Too tired to even fall asleep

But completely restless

There's no retreat

Maybe we're bothered

By the same old rhythm of

Wake up, eat

Come home, 

Then go to sleep

There's got to be more to life

Than this routine

People,

Live your life accordingly

What's freedom 

When we aren't really living
