You tell me to dream

Yet you take away everything

And still I'm not good enough

You say no one can stop me

Yet you do

You say no one can stop me

But you give me no chance

You say go to college

But you won't give me my degree

You say go to college

Yet I can't live out my dream

You say everyone lives the American dream

Did you forget about me?

You say everyone lives the American dream

Yet you make it impossible for me

You say all I have to do is work harder

Up before dawn and home after midnight

You say all I have to do is work harder

Aching muscles from working the fields

You say I've taken your jobs

Yet you think that you're too good for them

You say I've taken your jobs

But you don't appreciate them

You say I get what I deserve

Would you explain that to my 4 year old

You say I get what I deserve

Tell her it's why she has no bed
