I've just got To make more money Just got to work 40 to 50 Hours a week Just got to I don't know why No one can tell me why That's just how This earth system operates I've just got to Love full time work And the American Dream And blah blah blah blah I've looked for work I can't find any There are thousands of other People like me With a college degree And a teaching credential They don't Pay us Hardly anything I don't make enough For my own apartment I don't make enough But I've just got to Got to keep on trying To find full time employment Blah blah blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah blah blah The ego is an illusion The Taoist is understood Here in America Loud sounds, shouting Flashing lights, Going here going there Busy bodies I'm just here to do The minimum I don't care If I'm hated By everyone Who cares I'm tired And I'm lonely And I don't have Any female friends Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah I sit in front of my Ipad Watching documentaries There are no people here And no It's not A "nice day" No matter how much She says that It's not nice at all Just another day Alone in America

Alone In America
I've just got To make more money Just got to work 40 to 50 Hours a week Just got to I don't know why No one can tell me why That's just how This earth system operates I've just got to Love full time work And the American Dream And blah blah blah blah I've looked for work I can't find any There are thousands of other People like me With a college degree And a teaching credential They don't Pay us Hardly anything I don't make enough For my own apartment I don't make enough But I've just got to Got to keep on trying To find full time employment Blah blah blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah blah blah The ego is an illusion The Taoist is understood Here in America Loud sounds, shouting Flashing lights, Going here going there Busy bodies I'm just here to do The minimum I don't care If I'm hated By everyone Who cares I'm tired And I'm lonely And I don't have Any female friends Blah blah blah blah Blah blah blah I sit in front of my Ipad Watching documentaries There are no people here And no It's not A "nice day" No matter how much She says that It's not nice at all Just another day Alone in America
