American Dream RIP | American Protest Song Copyright John Lopker 2012. All Rights Reserved. LYRICS: This one’s for the funeral of the late American Dream Cause of death determined to be the Wall Street Machine This one’s for the family trying to make ends meet And the old man in the shadow living on the street This one’s for the weary and the workers on the line Ain't no hero coming gotta help yourself this time American Dream in your grave On our knees we will be brave Rest In Peace, American Dream This one’s for the soldier fighting a foreign war And the patriot shopping at the local big box store This one’s for the graduate buried in student debt Living with the folks looking for jobs they can’t get This one’s for the sinner, the saint, and all the rest Ain't no savior coming gonna have to do our best American Dream in your grave On our knees we will be brave Rest In Peace, American Dream This one’s for the 1 percent who gladly spare a dime And know their bread is buttered by the good old 99 This one’s for the rebel blinded by the rain Fighting to be heard and see the dragon slain This one’s for the wounded, the wicked, and the wise Ain't no help a coming, it’s time for us to rise American Dream in your grave On our knees we will be brave Rest In Peace, American Dream Rest In Peace, American Dream

LYRICS: Cecil the Lion was killed for a thrill By a dentist with a fifty thousand dollar drill A lion king lured from his throne Murdered for money and testosterone Walter James Palmer's not the only one Who loves killing creatures just for fun Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer comes to mind But Jeff only poached the human kind They claim trophy hunting is a sport They like to use words that distort They say "taking" not serial killing They say "trophy" instead of bloody beheading Cecil the Lion was killed for a thrill By a dentist with a fifty thousand dollar drill A lion king lured from his throne Murdered for money and testosterone
