From a young age we have been taught
America is the home of the free;
America is the country of opportunity;
here you can be whatever you dream.

So, what do we do?
We follow our dreams
(or attempt to).
We sign our lives away,
we let ourselves be turned into
mind-less zombies,
while building a mountain of debt
throughout the process.
Just to then be told
our dreams cannot be reached.

Go directly to jail.
Do not pass go.
Do not collect $200.

*God Bless America.
