[Hank Williams Jr. - The 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 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
