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 ruined 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?
You gotta keep on grindin' just to try to keep it
We got no time for yourselves, we got 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
