Zach Sands - Plastic Flowers

{verse}

I used to think
That I could be anything
Go to college
Earn some knowledge
And a four-year degree

{Chorus}

I can't believe
Never thought I’d ever be
Waking up from the American Dream
But all I see
Is inequality
And who are we
If we can't come together?

{verse}

Go to work
For a circle jerk
Spewing buzz words void of meaning
These funerals in cubicles
And every meaningless meeting
While the profiteers
Have engineered
Your clockwork existence
From their ivory towers
The wealth and power
Entitled by their inheritance

{Chorus}

I can't believe
Never thought I’d ever be
Waking up from the American Dream
But all I see
Is kakistocracy
And who are we
If we can't come together?

{verse}

Planting plastic flowers in the yard
They never grow
No matter how hard
I try to give them life
At least they never die
I think it's strange
They never change
Or grow, you know
These plastic flowers
Have magic powers
They don't get cold
Never grow old
Or any other direction
Or do much of anything
Worth a mention
These plastic flowers
Aren't even ours!

{Chorus}

I can't believe
Never thought I'd ever be
Waking up from the American Dream
But all I see
Is your complacency
And who are we
If we can't come together?

{instrumental break}

{Chorus}

I can’t believe
Never thought I’d ever be
Waking up from the American Dream
But all I see
Is our humanity
And who are we
If we can't come together?
