Here I stand watching you, thinking you got it all Super job, Cadillacs, a mansion for a house Diamond rings, fancy clothes, expensive restaurants Living high on credit cards and you love to show it off I see your wonderful life, it sure looks better than mine You rent the American dream and now you're a slave to the lie Little man, dressed to k**, pretend you got the life Mercedes Benz, three years lease, but you can't pay the price Look at you, big rock star, living above the crowd But fantasy is all it is when you're walking tall and proud Time will come to pay your debt and taste reality But no one's there to stop and stare, you're living in a dream I see your wonderful life, is it really better than mine? You rent the American dream and now you're a slave to the lie I see your beautiful life, it looks like you've got it all Seems like it's a wonderful life but you're headed for a fall Such a wonderful life Such a beautiful life It's a wonderful life I see your wonderful life, is it really better than mine? You rent the American dream and now you're a slave to the lie I see your beautiful life, it looks like you've got it all Seems like it's a wonderful life but you're headed for a fall I see your wonderful life, it ain't no better than mine Slave to the American dream, someday you will pay the price I see your wonderful life
