Entitled American self-esteem
Harvested like a cash crop
Climbing ladders with your schemes
Then sawing the rungs off
CHORUS
Up, up and away.
I died in the USA.
They’re selling you tomorrow.
Yesterday didn’t work.
Today is getting late.
They’re selling you tomorrow
but tomorrow they will say that you have to wait.
Insomniacs don’t follow dreams.
Comebacks with Washington cash.
Gutted out the in-between
and abandoned the middle class.
CHORUS
Feel your failure!
Feel your failure!
Feel your failure somewhere over…
They’re selling you tomorrow.
Yesterday didn’t work.
Today is getting late.
They’re selling you tomorrow
but tomorrow they will say that you have to wait.
You’ll have to wait.
We died in the USA.
