American Dream

American dream

Friday night driving home
Traffic gridlock cause unknown
welcome to my suburban dream
the work week's done but i can't stop
when i get home i'm on the clock
though no one's waiting there for me

am i living the american dream
like a postcard of a movie scene
am i living the american dream
these days i don't know what that means

i'm running here running there
i'm running almost everywhere
holding everything together
and time seems to move so fast
like there's no sand in the hour glass
will i be in debt forever
