All us middle class clowns we can't be trusted
On the verge of getting busted driving drunk over the hill
With your heads up in the clouds you stare disgusted
But I know you've always lusted after some far away ideal

And we've been conned but we can't move on
We've been conned but we can't move on until it all is gone

The future we projected has been denied has been rejected
And now we feel under protected, we hang our hopes on resurrected
Dreams and all we ever wanted even though it leaves us haunted
We're not content with all we've flaunted; we've been sold but still undaunted

By your
dollars and nonsense x4

And we've been conned but we can't move on
until it all is gone

Wore your bank accounts like crowns until they rusted
But mommy always sussed out that was part of the appeal
Turning smiles into frowns I've heard enough and
I hope that you can suffer with the same amount of zeal

And we've been conned but we can't move on
We've been conned but we can't move on until it all is gone

The future we projected has been denied has been rejected
And now we feel under protected, we hang our hopes on resurrected
Dreams and all we ever wanted even though it leaves us haunted
We're not content with all we've flaunted; we've been sold but still undaunted

By your
dollars and nonsense x4

And we've been conned but we can't move on
until it all is gone
