Song Structure and Lyrics
-------------------------
[INTRO: LEAD x2]

[INTRO: RHYTHM] & [INTRO: LEAD x6]

[VERSE]
Just being here today I feel just like a long lost friend.
Well just wait around cause the desperation's kicking in.

[CHORUS]
Yeah, it's already starting to mix with one of my best pieces of fiction.
And it's called I'll be getting by and I'll make ends meat.
Does the forty-hour week have you bent at the knees,
And you can't even see that everything's kept just out of reach?

[BRIDGE] & [INTRO: LEAD x8]

[VERSE]
Ever get that funny feeling that your future's not gonna be legit,
And that for sale sign that's hanging on your neck might as well spell defeat?

[CHORUS]
Yeah, it's already starting to mix with one of my best pieces of fiction.
And it's called I'll be getting by and I'll make ends meat.
Does the forty-hour week have you bent at the knees,
And you can't even see that everything's kept just out of reach?

[OUTRO]
My American dream is to have it a little bit better than my parents ever had it.
My American dream is to have it a little bit better than my parents ever had it.
My American dream is to have it a little bit better than it's just a force habit.
[INTRO: LEAD x 6]
My American dream is to have it a little bit better than my parents ever had it.
