It’s all part of the money machine, the money machine.
It’s all part of the capitalist scheme, the money machine.
Makes you forget you’re a human being,
And I call it the money machine.
So you can
Go to school, study real hard, get your college degree.
It’s the American Dream, set up for you and me To keep you from being free.
Work from 9 to 5 sometimes overtime, just to pay your bills.
The American Dream set up for you and me By the jerks on Capitol Hill.

Then one day, when you’re sixty-five
Ain’t got no reason to stay alive.
Just sit at home waiting for your check.
Personally I’d rather be hanging by the neck.
