The American Dream,
What is it?
The American Dream is the destruction of other dreams.
The American Dream is a constant downward spiral into monotony.
The American Dream is taking people with talent and sitting them in an office, closed off from the world around them.
The American Dream is getting into office and messing up the entire planet.
The American Dream is taking third world nations and smashing them into the ground with the hammer of greed and the nails of oppression.
The American Dream is music.
The American Dream is money.
The American Dream is sex.
The American Dream is drugs.
The American Dream is love.
The American Dream is life.
The American Dream,
What is it?
