National Anthem Lyrics - Less Than Jake

Does being in debt feel just like a long lost friend? 

Well just wait around 'cause the desperation's kicking in 

Yeah its already starting to mix with one of my best pieces of fiction 

And it's called "I'll be getting by and I'll make ends meet" 

Does the 40-hour week have you bent at the knees 

And you can't even see that everything's kept just out of reach 

Ever get that funny feeling that your future's not going to be bought cheap 

And that for sale sign that's hanging 'round your neck might as well spell defeat 

Yeah its already starting to mix with one of my best pieces of fiction 

And it's called "I'll be getting by and I'll make ends meet" 

Does the forty hour week have you bent at the knees and you can't even see that everything's kept just out of reach 

My American dream is to have it, a little bit better than my parents ever had it 

My American dream is to have it, a little bit better than my parents ever had it 

My American dream is to have it, a little bit better than its just a force of habit 

My American dream is to have it a little bit, better than my parents ever had it.
