A Lifetime to Pay

So this is your day - look round you,

You've made it at last

The American Way.

You're top of the heap - believe it.

Got a place in the sun.

And you're planning to stay.

It was tough on the street

It was rough down there making ends meet.

Now you're up on your feet

You can live for today.

Just a dollar a day ...

And a lifetime to pay.

So this is the life you dreamed of

Don't worry if it's not as good as it seemed.

You've enough on your plate - but that's business;

You know you can buy the American Dream.

You've worked for it all,

You had your back, your back to the wall,

Now it's free for all -

The American Way -

With just a dollar a day ...

And a lifetime to pay.

And all you ever wanted

Was a place in the sun.

All you ever wanted

Was a place in the sun, was a place in the sun.

So this is the life you dreamed of

Don't worry if it's not as good as it seemed.

You've enough on your plate - but that's business;

You know you can buy the American Dream.

You've worked for it all,

You had your back, your back to the wall,

Now it's free for all -

The American Way -

With just a dollar a day ...

And a lifetime to pay.
