Watching ants move on a line of grass
Like cars on a fast speed highway
America you move too fast
America this just can't last

No room for the weak or the thougtful
Talking to themselves on the dixie
America you work too hard
America you're on your guard

Worked to the bone ready to snap
The pursuit of happiness is a trap
Work to the bone ready to snap
The pursuit of happiness is a trap

Watching ads flash by on a TV screen
Big pharma selling sickness to the healthy
But the genuine warmth
and the kindness of strangers
These are good people
Caught in a rigged system
America you got the cash
America you got the cash

Worked to the bone ready to snap
The pursuit of happiness is a trap
Worked to the bone ready to snap
The pursuit of happiness is a trap

Ants lined up on a blade of grass
like cars on a fast speed highway
America you move too fast
America you just can't last
No room for the weak or the thoughtful
Now we' re on a high speed highway
America you've got the cash
America whats the catch

Shocked to the bone ready to crash
The pursuit of happiness is a trap
Worked to the bone ready to snap
The pursuit of happiness is a trap
Shot to the bone ready to crash
The pursuit of happiness is a trap
Work to the bone ready to snap
The pursuit of happiness is a trap
