Well I remember the day
That they cut me free
The HR rep walked in with tears in his eyes
After fifteen years, what a pleasant surprise
Did everything right
I had a Master's Degree
I'd just been diagnosed with a nasty disease
And I couldn't tell my kids
I was too angry
I'd seen it before
They dress in suits and ties
Then sell their souls for the bottom line
And the corporate whores
Build their golden parachutes in the sky
They do not care if you live or die
I had to apply for disability
I couldn't find a job, no one would hire me
I was learning the hard way that talk is cheap
And it took so long
So many doctors to see
My heath insurance costs so much I couldn't sleep
So tell me mister where to find my American Dream
I'd seen it before
They dress in suits and ties
Then sell their souls for the bottom line
And the corporate whores
Build their golden parachutes in the sky
They do not care if you live or die
I'd seen it before
They dress in suits and ties
Then sell their souls for the bottom line
And the corporate whores
Build their golden parachutes in the sky
They don't give a shit if you live or die
