The American Dream


What is the American dream? To own a house with a couple of kids Not to do anything that the law forbids But at what cost? We come home from work with sore feet and an aching back With a small check and a huge deduction called tax. With the economy failing, jobs are rare Everything costs money, now that's a scare.
