I saw the American weekend
It was on TV all Wednesday
That's what they mean by hump day
It's an advertising term
When did the american dream
Become THE AMERICAN FANTASY?
With the advent of modern technology?
Maybe through media hypocrisy...
Well perhaps not hypocrisy by name
But even so ain't it a shame?
(Not us, but) we used to work to live
Now we live not to work
Houdini would have loved it here
They paid him to escape!
