Jimmy LaFave - Worn out American Dream lyrics

Isee no refuge for the weary I see no handouts for the poor I see no sense of satisfaction On all the ones who just endure All the slings and arrows slandered Against the face of the poor man's dream Where the rich circle in like vultures Picking all their pockets clean Don't you give me your phony smile Don't you tell me no more rules How many people will you trample down Before you're finally through? Come on face the situation All the sadness that it brings Got me lost inside the shuffle of A worn out American dream Give me no more TV preachers Give me no more racist attitudes Politicians, politicians, I've got nothing left for you I'm within my global vision You see, my feelings are my own The Good Book says the days are numbered So I'm turning towards my home Take away your evil money I won't join in your game To myself I will be true To myself I will remain Come on face your situation It's just as desperate as it seems You got us lost inside the shuffle of Your worn out American dream I see no refuge for the weary I see no handouts for the poor I see no sense of satisfaction On all the ones who must endure All the slings and arrows slandered Against the face of the poor man's dream All the rich circle in like vultures Picking every pocket clean Don't you give me your phony smile Don't you tell me one more rule How many lambs must you slaughter Before you're finally through? Come on, face the situation And all the sadness that it brings You've got us lost inside the shuffle of Your worn out American dream You've got me caught up in the madness of Your worn out American dream You've got me lost inside the sadness of Your worn out American dream
