The Dream Is Over Lyrics

Cover art for The Dream Is Over lyrics by Van Halen

i think its pretty obvious. The song is about a generation who was always told that all they need to do is work hard and they will succeed, but in a world where employment is often very hard to come by (especially for teens), easy money is the only option. Easy money, A way out, Join the family. No middle man No IRS

^ obviously talking about gang life.

The dream is just that life will go smoothly and you just need to be good to succeed
