[Chorus]

Dreams, are they really material things?

Could you spend your whole life it seems searching for all that glitters and gleams in pursuit of American dreams?

Are they really material things?

Could you spend your whole life it seems searching for all that glitters and gleams in pursuit of American dreams?

[Bridge]

Focused on the center but you never get the message

You were dealt a hand to choose whether to fight it or accept it

Karma’s coming back for you for what you’ve done to people

Death is what it takes for some to recognize that we are equal

Focused on the center but you never get the message

You were dealt a hand to choose whether to fight it or accept it

Karma’s coming back for you for what you’ve done to people

Death is what it takes for some to recognize it’s not the end and there’s a sequel

[Verse]

Ooh, that’s sparkly, I want that

Show me the line to sign the contract

Don’t matter the cost, put it on my credit card

I’ll take care of it later when I notice the charge

And write it off on my taxes, my finances are handled by advisors with ultimate access to knowledge of the ways that the system works to the advantage of the rich, yeah there’s so many perks

To white privilege, look at the way my life’s lived

It’s not hard to see I’m stark and mean business

Now my actions start to leave imprints

Exploit the voiceless, hell, what’s the difference?

I can’t see it from the forty-fourth floor, when the majority of the jobs have been outsourced, and the slave labor doesn’t take place within my field of vision, all I see are profit margins, morals have no influence on my decision

[Chorus]

Dreams, are they really material things?

Could you spend your whole life it seems searching for all that glitters and gleams in pursuit of American dreams?
