~VERSE~

B5B5
When success is equated with excess

The ambition for excess wrecks us

The top of the mind becomes the bottom line

When success is equated with excess

If your time ain't been nothing for money

I start to feel really bad for your honey

Maybe honey put your money where your mouth's been running

If your time ain't been nothing but money

~PRE-CHORUS~

E5E5   F#5F#5     Ab5Ab5        A5A5
I want out of this machine it doesn't feel like freedom

~CHORUS~

B5B5           E5E5   A5A5
This ain't my American dream
B5B5             E5E5      A5A5
I want to live and die for bigger things
C#5C#5              F#5F#5
I'm tired of fighting for just me
            B5B5
This ain't my American dream

~INTERLUDE~

(B5B5) A5A5 B5B5  A5A5 B5B5  C#5C#5 B5B5 A5A5 Ab5Ab5 F#5F#5 E5E5 B5B5

~VERSE 2~

B5B5
When success is equated with excess

When you're fighting for the Beamer the Lexus

As the heart and soul breathe in the company goals

Where success is equated with excess

~REPEAT PRE-CHORUS~

~REPEAT CHORUS~

~BRIDGE~
B5B5
'Cause baby's always talkin' 'bout a ring

And talk has always been the cheapest thing

Is it true would you do what I want you to
   E5E5                B5B5
If I show up with the right amount of bling
C#5C#5  B5B5    A5A5 Ab5Ab5  F#5F#5 E5E5 B5B5
Like a puppet on a monetary string
C#5C#5  B5B5    A5A5 Ab5Ab5  F#5F#5 E5E5 C#5C#5        F#5F#5
Maybe we've been caught singing red white blue and green
N.C
But that ain't my America

That ain't my American dream

~REPEAT CHORUS~

~OUTRO~

B5B5  C#5C#5 B5B5 A5A5 Ab5Ab5 F#5F#5 E5E5 B5B5
