The American dream My childhood dream What I've been told to expect My whole entire life  American dreams Scream. Many separate teams  Tug-o-warring with Dreams Childhood dreams Fading gleams Glimmers of light Blocked out by a fake black sun Hanging on a string Dreams; deferred  It just can't be all a lie-   But, The cake is a lie The cakeis a lie The cake is a lie The cake is a lie.

The Cake Is a Lie
The American dream My childhood dream What I've been told to expect My whole entire life  American dreams Scream. Many separate teams  Tug-o-warring with Dreams Childhood dreams Fading gleams Glimmers of light Blocked out by a fake black sun Hanging on a string Dreams; deferred  It just can't be all a lie-   But, The cake is a lie The cakeis a lie The cake is a lie The cake is a lie.
