lyrics

You're marching up State St. toward Hell, 9 to 5,
Silk noose 'round your neck, yeah, you're barely alive,
One whiff of your paycheck, mandane's justified,
You're damn far from living, you merely survive...

[C1]
Woahhhhh, Say can you see?
Your American Dream,
Means nothing to me...

[V2]
Don't think for a minute (that) you're better than me,
'Cuz I ain't got a sportscar or big-screen TV,
The best things in life may not always be free,
But are they worth being a fucking zombie?

Woahhhhh, Say can you see?
Your American Dream,
Means nothing to me...

[C2]
(Scream in the background)
SO WHAT! I meet my ends!
SO WHAT! I've got my friends!
SO WHAT! If I ain't rich!
SO WHAT! The world's my bitch!
SO WHAT!

Society's message (is) getting outta control,
And it seems every motherfucker's got a hole in his soul,
Ya get a job, get a house, get a ring, get a wife,
Is that the way you really wanna live your life?

Far be it from me to tell you how to act,
But if ya grow up too fast, it's fucking tough to go back,
Stay hungry, stay foolish, don't settle for shit,
Because money, in the end, won't help you a bit.

SO WHAT! I meet my ends!
SO WHAT! I've got my friends!
SO WHAT! If I ain't rich!
SO WHAT! The world's my bitch!
SO WHAT!
