lyrics

They're so smart
They're so poor

We've got those medical bills and student loan debt
It's the American Dream
Haven't woke up yet
If the entire system
Is on our backs
If the entire system
Is holding us back

It's ok.
I've got a credit card.

I've got to keep up the act
that I'm building up wealth
Putting in overtime
and neglecting my health
Oh boy GDP
and stock market is up

Is that why I have four jobs
because three's not enough?
And when I can't pay the rent
'cause I lost one of them
I'll cautiously say
through a stupid grin

It's ok
I've got a credit card
It's ok
Put it on the credit card

I thought things were getting better
But all I see is worse weather
The rich are just getting richer
The poor are just getting poorer
The game is just rigged
We cannot pass go
And yet we still buy
Cause it's shoved down our throats

It's ok
I've got a credit card
It's ok
Put it on the credit card

We've got that student loan debt
And lots of regrets
The American Dream?
But we're paying rent

We've got that student loan debt
And we're sick of it
The American Dream?
Well we're not there yet
