American Dream Lyrics

Too many lawyers in football,
Baseball's got a few,
The pitcher got a million dollars,
And the quarterback he got two,
The pitcher threw his arm away,
And the quarterback rurned his knee,
And this they did so they could live the American dream,

Now there are some preachers on TV,
With a suit and a tie and a vest,
They want you to send your money to the Lord,
But they give you their address,
'Cause all of your donations are completely tax free,
God Bless you all but most of all send your money,

Do you really want it?
Do you really need it?
You gotta keep on grindin',
just to try to keep it.
You got no time for yourself you got more for old Jim Beam,
You're goin' crazy dreamin' the American dream.

Reagan is a cuttin' the budget,
Makin' the democrats scream,
Says we gotta control inflation,
Quit spending our money on everything,
But this year's tax increase why it's the biggest in history,
Round and around we go, where we stop who knows the American dream

Do we really want it?
Do you really need it?
We gotta keep on grindin',
just to try to keep it.
We got no time for ourselves and more for old Jim Beam,
We're goin' crazy dreamin' the American dream.
We're goin' crazy dreamin' the American dream.

Hail to the chief.
