New American Dream

by Flatland Cavalry

Lyrics
Rat race runnin' on a pharmacy speed
Wheelin' and dealin' on legalized weed
And I ain't got a cotton dollar in my pocket
But I'm wearin' designer jeans and luxury optics

Wake up to the new American dream
Watch the old one fade on a five-inch screen
It's another Great Depression tryin' to keep up with the Jetsons
Wake up to the new American dream

Hop on the Metaverse and hit the club
Go home with an avatar and fall in love

When the children start askin' how we met
Well hell, we'll tell them, "We just swiped right 'til there was no one left"

Wake up to the new American dream
Watch the old one fade on a five-inch screen
It's another Great Depression tryin' to keep up with the Jetsons
Wake up to the new American dream

Pray the Lord your crypto coins to keep
Put your conscience and your common sense to sleep
You book a shuttle to the lit side of the moon
You play 18 at TPC "Lunar Dunes"
You'll be halfway to Heaven if you don't come back

You can stay there forever, they got a pill for that!

Wake up to the new American dream
Watch the old one fade on a five-inch screen
It's everyone's profession tryin' to keep up with the Jetsons
Wake up to the new American dream
Wake up to the new American dream
