Road of Broken Dreams

It was a brighter day back then, and we didn't know which way the world would take us Things were a lot easier when we were younger, and our money didn't make us It was a nicer way when people were proud of their love, not their hatred We said that we had time to build and create, and that nothing could break us But it broke us, and we're all just broken Walking the road of broken dreams, left hoping Hoping to hold on to find something golden, with our hearts wide open And my arms are swollen from holding on to this moment, and we're all just broken I feel set up and let down all at once Gas lit like a MF, the back is the front They're telling me just to finish school or get a job They're telling me I can't afford what a house truly costs I'm so lost from a lost generation Can you relate? I know you can, cause you face what I'm facing They took everything we trusted and they turned it into shit Religion, politics, and all government agencies They all betrayed us and played us for the suckers we are They gave us fake money, a real deal, monopoly car And in this game of life, friends are either snakes or ladders It's a mousetrap, we're here to help the rats get fatter It don't matter, you ain't shit and you didn't exist We're just messing up their vacay with their wife and their kids My best friend Spade passed away from this life of sin I keep his spirit within me, I know I'll hug him again Someday, if they ever say we can show our face, they like to keep us locked away Literally know your place cause they're coming shooting to kill you I ain't playing, it's real dude They'll poison your water, they'll poison your food too They'll poison your mind, anything to get rid of you It's true, I ain't kidding fool Government's a pitiful They wanna leave you poor, hoping for more My name is George, I'm a broken man Raise your hand if you feel it too It was a brighter day back then and we didn't know which way the world would take us Things were a lot easier when we were younger and our money didn't make us It was a nicer way when people were proud of their love, not their hatred We said that we had time to build and create and that nothing could break us But it broke us and we're all just broken, walking the road of broken dreams Left hoping, hoping to hold on to find something golden With our hearts wide open and my arms are swollen from holding on to this moment And we're all just broken, walking the road of broken dreams Left hoping, hoping to hold on to find something golden With our hearts wide open and my arms are swollen from holding on to this moment And we're all just broken, walking the road of broken dreams Left hoping, hoping to hold on to find something golden
