overworked and unloved your american dream gets blurred by the drugs comes apart at the seams and it seems to make no sense so we wrinkle our noses as again life shows us that it's not all roses it's the compost it grows in and it's the vase that it goes in when it's cut and left to wither it's constantly rowing yet going nowhere in the river because the waters are frozen and the cold causes a shiver but you keep pushing forward because it took so long to get here and the frigid chill of winter at last has made you numb now it's clear that you've become overworked and unloved your american dream blurred by the drugs comes apart at the seams i feel broke sick and tired all the time but i won't quit cause it's success on my mind i'll pretend all is fine load the film and rewind then quick before they look click the camera took a picture of a grin and paste in on my face in the place this frown is in but when no one's around i can put away the polaroid if no one sees then there's no reason to keep acting like i'm overjoyed currently unemployed denied the job even though i'm more than capable this going nowhere feeling looms doom seems inescapable a little get ahead seems unattainable and get a little head is all that i can think about at least that's how it seems overworked and unloved your american dream gets blurred by the drugs comes apart at the seams
