How the world wants us to feel.
I want to be happy
That's what they say I should be
I want the white picket fence
That's what they say I should have
I want the two story in suburbia
That's where they say I should live
I want the beautiful wife and 2.5 kids
That's what they tell me I should have
I want the high paying job
That's where they say I should be
I want the American dream
