LYRICS:
It’s hard to prove them right.
Winners often lose.
Upper-middle-class expectations.

Stuck in young adulthood.
I try to be aspirational.
I try to be aspirational.

It’s daunting when the future’s hazy
And the American Dream is a dream.
So, dream!
So, dream!
So, dream!
Dream!

It’s hard to prove them right.
Winners often lose.
Upper-middle-class expectations.
Expectations.
Expectations.
Expectations.
Expectations.

So, dream!
So, dream!
So, dream!
Dream!
So, dream!
So, dream!
So, dream!
Dream!
