dorothy at forty

• oz diyarından^* dönüp kırkına gelmiş dorothy'e hayatın acı gerçeklerini anlatmaya çalışan oynak cursive şarkısı.
  
  dorothy, i know you've had amazing dreams
  we can't go chasing down each golden street
  each and every rainbow, each passion, each unattainable goal
  we're not in dreamland anymore
  
  dorothy, it seems you'll never understand
  this here land is everything we have
  every sweat-stained collar, every dollar,
  every bent and bloodied spur
  we're not the kids that we once were
  we can't be the adults we want to be
  
  dreams are all you have, dreams have held you back
  dreamers never live, only dream of it
  dream cars, dream houses, dream jobs, dream spouses
  dreams of tornadoes, cities of emerald
  
  and i know we swore we'd make more of ourselves
  but this plot is literally our lot in life.
  
  american dreams pollute our cities
  our piece of the pie can't fill our bellies
  (more!) more square inches
  (more!) picket fences
  (more!) clothes on the line
  (more!) naps at noontime
  more of our fair share
  more of our birthright
  more of what we're owed
  
  more...
  
  paid vacation
  (more!) entertainment
  (more!) compensation
  (more!) gratuitous gratification
  
  dorothy, wake up, dorothy, wake up
  dorothy, wake up, it's time for work
