The American Dream:
Husband, wife
three kids and a dog
piled into a station wagon
headed for the coast

three kids and a dog

Always Southern California
A house and yard
A garage
and a friendly neighbour
just like you

Nice home
Good job
TV in every room
Everything just so
Good job
TV in every room
Everything just so
Except the house and car
They’re never big enough
Everything’s on credit
and the job’s on borrowed time
They’re never big enough
Everything’s on credit
and the job’s on borrowed time

East Coast?
Prairies, maybe?

Your neighbour’s wife
does more for your libido
than your own
Which is an irony
as Tony shags your wife
behind your back
does more for your libido
than your own
Which is an irony
as Tony shags your wife
behind your back
The dog and kids are real enough

and the business park stands empty
since the household name was sold

Shame the factories are closing
and the business park stands empty
since the household name was sold
Who'd have thought?
But at least you have TV
And the dream
And the dream
