American Dream (Album Version)

[00:15.17] When success is equated with excess
[00:17.67] The ambition for excess wrecks us
[00:20.70] As the top of the mind becomes the bottom line
[00:24.08] When success is equated with excess
[00:27.02] If your time ain't be nothing but money
[00:29.63] I start to feel really bad for you, honey
[00:32.69] Maybe honey, put you're money
[00:34.38] Where your mouth's been running
[00:35.81] If your time ain't be nothing but money
[00:39.81] I want out of this machine
[00:42.46] It doesn't feel like freedom
[00:45.23] This ain't my American dream
[00:49.46] I wanna live and die for bigger things
[00:57.13] I'm tired of fighting for just me
[01:03.35] This ain't my American dream
[01:17.65] When success is equated with excess
[01:19.79] When you're fighting for the Beamer, the Lexus
[01:22.77] As the heart and soul breathing the company goals
[01:25.97] Where success is equated with excess
[01:28.77] I want out of this machine
[01:33.06] It doesn't feel like freedom
[01:36.03] This ain't my American dream
[01:41.12] I wanna live and die for bigger things
[01:47.56] I'm tired of fighting for just me
[01:53.34] This ain't my American dream
[01:59.08] 'Cause baby's always talking 'bout a ring
[02:01.45] And talk has always been the cheapest thing
[02:04.69] Is it true?
[02:05.12] Would you do what I want you to
[02:07.49] If I show up with the right amount of bling?
[02:10.03] Like a puppet on a monetary string
[02:17.09] Maybe we've been caught singing
[02:19.85] Red, white, blue and green
[02:24.34] But that ain't my America
[02:27.78] That ain't my American dream
[02:31.37] This ain't my American dream
[02:36.46] I wanna live and die for bigger things
[02:42.27] I'm tired of fighting for just me
[02:48.27] This ain't my American dream
[03:01.45]
