Our American Dream
we were just two more methland residents, dreams floating in our heads.
we were hoping to prove the american dream was not quite really dead.
but times sure change and so do dreams.
i guess.
We're not the next Spielbergs
We're not the next Mansons
we're too Fu^&ed; up for that.
but maybe some of our dreams won't die.
you and I can keep some alive.
We're not the next Clintons
We're not the next Tolstoys
we're not skilled enough for that.
I'll carry the 2.5 kids if you will buy the house.
They will paint the picket fence white and we'll hide
quiet as mice but acting like rabbits.
I'm not Ward and you're not June
but this will work out anyway.
we're not the next Cleavers
we're not the next Bradys
We're at least better than that.
