Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Too many lawyers in football
Baseball's gotta few
The pitcher got a million dollars
And the quarterback, he got two
[Verse 2]
Pitcher threw his arm away
And the quarterback burned his knee
And this they did so they could live
The American Dream
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Do you really want it
Do you really need it
Ya gotta keep on grinding, just to try and keep it
Ya got no time for yourself
Ya got Marlboro, Jim Beam
You're goin crazy dreamin'
The American Dream
[Verse 5]
Reagan is cuttin' the budget
Makin the Democrats scream
Says we gotta control inflation
Quit spending our money on everything
But this years tax increase
Why, it's the biggest in history
'Round and around we go
Where we stop who knows
The American Dream
[Verse 6]
Do we really want it
Do you really need it
Ya gotta keep on grinding just to try and keep it
We got no time for ourselves
And Marlboro, Jim Beam
You're goin crazy dreamin'
The American Dream
[Verse 7]
We're going crazy dreamin'
The American Dream
[Verse 8]
Hail to the Chief
Heh heh, hell yeah
