Pat On The Back

from Left Pocket Dead by Left Pocket Dead

lyrics

You gave it up just like that
And forgot what’s important or maybe you never knew
So sure of yourself, you know what’s right
What’s best for you…and yours

You quit, I should have known
A wolf in car salesman clothing
But love is grand
Especially when you don’t know what to listen for

You actually speak about the American Dream
Saying that anyone can be anything & have it all
You think that people stay poor because of choice
And those that can’t walk should be forced to crawl

I wish I was more forthright
Maybe I could have told my, told my family to run
Except I don’t believe there’s anything
I don’t believe there’s anything I could have done

I can’t accept most of your rhetoric
I can’t interject, cause I don’t know how to react
To the selfishness cause you say in the end
The only ones that matter are you and yours

You actually speak about the American Dream
Saying that anyone can be anything & have it all
You think that people stay poor because of choice
And those that can’t walk should be forced to crawl

Live the American Dream
Is your lie part of the scheme?
Love the class system
And long live capitalism!
