Lyrics
The moon is made
Of cheese, you see
They put it there
For you and me
Won't you come
And take a piece?

It's on sale now
So don't be slow
Can't beat these prices
That's for sure
What else do you
Need to know?
What else could you
Ever need to know?

Shop all day
Shop all night
It's your right
It's the American Dream
And the future's bright

Find a husband
While you check the mail
Shame a stranger
While you save the whales

It's a good thing
That you did today
If they don't see it
Then they're to blame

Now put on your coyote fur
Let's show the world
You're a connoisseur
Anna Wintour would be
Proud of you, it's a shame
She'll never, ever have a clue

Better get in the queue
Go into debt
Jetset and beget
You're America's best

Who needs to think
When the stars are
All aligned for you?
We tell you what
To buy and do

If you don't
Have the means
We'll lend it to you
And you'll pay someday
Don't worry about
The high interest rates

I helped myself
To a book or two
I put a quote
Online for you
Now tell me
I'm a renaissance man
I beat my own
Attention span

The slot machines
At Toys-R-Us
The JCPenny outlet
Store combusts
I heard we put
A man on the moon
Maybe we can do it
Again soon

Fat fucking chance
We'll just stream it
Instead
So we can watch it
From bed
Now in high-def
Forever content

Who needs to think
When the stars are all
Aligned for you?
We paved the way
With Mountain Dew

If you don't
Have the means
We'll rent it out
For a monthly fee
Don't worry, kid
It's just the
American Dream

Really good song. Well written and well performed. Super pro production in my ears

Love your lyrics... you could join the Lennon McCartny team with this whimsical offering... I love how the whimsy in the song stands in contrast to the weight of the content... and again your voice carries the day... excellent post... also love the subtle transition into the B-section as the note emerges from under... smart stuff

Beautiful vocals, lyrics, hook.  This one sticks with you in a very good way.  I love how the lyrics build, starting subtle like a nursery rhyme, and then cleverly evolve to a both hilarious and sobering view of the American Dream.  Fabulous song, well done.

I'm starting to enjoy the fact that some people (our beloved Alan - North Point, included !!) are mixing our names. Firstly, im honored... and then it leads me to listen to some songs YOU made, and that i might have missed. This one shows, once again, how your songwriting skills are high high... Superb.
