(Fast forward to the second performance please)

I don't know about you but I was totally captivated;
Skin tight jeans and all.

Only on the voice do you get this kind of raw, original talent
And creativity. Great job Luke!

Do you watch The Voice? What are your thoughts?

The American Dream

Let’s discuss the American Dream

You must be sleeping to believe it

From student loans to owning a home

Accruing debt just to achieve it

 

Higher education is the way

A good future lies in getting degreed

The part that you missed in all of this

Is higher degrees don’t come cheap

 

Year after year of accomplishing your goal

You leave campus to chase a profession

You’re seeing the cost of hard work paying off

But your finances are in a recession

 

Health insurance, life insurance, dental and vision

FICO and 401K

Your net gross is a joke, after taxes you’re broke

With six figures in loans to repay

 

Just the other weekend you ran into a friend

Who inspired you to purchase a mortgage

If you have good credit it’s a 30 year fix

And an offer you won’t regret

 

What a great deal, it all seemed surreal

It’s the biggest purchase you’ll ever make

In thirty years you’ll own your very own home

Biggest purchase or biggest mistake?

 

You do the math, 5 bedrooms three baths

Basement and two car garage

For $300K you can buy it today

In reality it’s all a facade

 

You don’t own a thing, it belongs to the bank

They give you a loan in good faith

Even after you own it, you’ll pay taxes on it

And get kicked out if you aren’t able to pay

 

With all of the perks your house is now worth

One third of the mortgage you signed

For the interest agreed you’ll pay all the fees

Even if your home value declines

 

Impressing your friends, your cash is spread thin

Things certainly are not what they seem

You have to keep working to pay the price

Of acquiring the American Dream
